El Geish vs Al Masry Predictions & Tips

Two sides in the bottom six of the table clash this week, as Al Masry and El Geish search for vital points in this clash. Neither side can consider themselves safe from the drop at this early stage of the season, with poor starts for both putting them in trouble. However, can either side turn things around here?

Wins have been in short supply for both sides, while things could get worse for either side. They could finish this round of games in the bottom three if they slip up in this meeting. With tension likely to be in the air, we expect a nervy clash between these two with goals likely to be in short supply.

History of Narrow Results

These two sides have picked up just three wins between them across a combined 16 games this term. There’s very little between them in terms of form, while the pair have struggled to be separated in their head to head meetings. The duo have each won two of their last six clashes, drawing two of the last three. Their last three games have seen a total of just three goals scored and three clean sheets.

It’s likely that this will be another narrow game. Al Masry head into this clash having seen exactly one goal scored in 50% of their matches this term. All of the visitors four defeats this term have come by a single goal, having lost 1-0 in four of their last six matches. They’ve lost plenty of games already, which is a concern with El Geish coming off a home win.

Goals in Short Supply

With Al Masry’s form considered, we don’t see this being a thrilling tie. The visitors have seen under 2.5 goals in 88% of their matches in the league this term. They head into this week’s clash as the underdogs, with El Geish expected to set the tempo. However, the hosts have scored just once across the last three meetings between these two, so don’t expect the hosts to pour forward here.

Both sides have failed to score in 50% of their league games this season, which suggests to us that they each have their own issues up top. Given the nature of this clash and the pressure facing both we expect this clash to be quite close. Under 2.5 goals is our pick for this one, having landed in 62% of the hosts’ matches.

El Geish have claimed 71% of their points at home this term and we expect them to follow that up with a win. Al Masry have got poor form behind them and with four 1-0 defeats in six we are going for another narrow defeat for the visitors. Despite their low scoring games, the visitors have conceded in 88% of their games. Given how the away side have struggled to score this term, we think this is perfectly set up for a 1-0 home victory on Wednesday.
