Most pundits saw El Gaish as a mid-table team in the current season, and they are playing according to the expectations, as Abdelhamid Bassiouni's team collected seven points from the first five matches. El Gaish were recently in a good run of four games without defeat in all competitions, but in the previous league round, Bassiouni's team lost 1-0 at home against Petrojet. The teams were pretty even in that match, but in the end, the guests found a way to pick up all three points. Now, El Gaish will play against one of the best in the competition, Zamalek, and that could mean another troubling result for the team projected for a mid-table.
Zamalek should be one of the best teams in the Egyptian Premier League. After five rounds, they picked up ten points and are one point behind the league leader, Al Masry. Zamalek have played well lately, with the last five games without defeat in all competitions. In the previous Premier League round, they played 1-1 at home against Ceramica Cleopatra. The home side had ball possession on their side, but they failed to create an advantage enough to win.
El Gaish vs Zamalek pick: Under 2.5 goals
Both teams have good defenses. El Gaish allowed only two goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Zamalek conceded four goals in the previous seven games. We should expect this game to be low-scoring.

El Gaish team news
El Gaish have a solid team, but for something more, they need to strengthen some areas in the squad, especially attack. El Gaish have three strikers, but Godwin Chika is probably the only one good enough for the Premier League level (seven goals last season in all competitions). Basem Morsy (two goals in the previous two seasons) and Fares Hatem (without goals in the last two seasons) don't seem good enough for this level.
