Zamalek SC vs El Gouna FC: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 23, 2025

On Tuesday, the 8th round of the Egyptian Premier League will feature a match at Cairo International Stadium, where Zamalek will face El Gouna. This match presents a strong opportunity for a favorable outcome.

Match Preview

Zamalek has started the season strongly, leading the league with 16 points after seven matches. They have won five games, scoring 11 goals while conceding just three, which highlights their strong defense. Recently, they secured wins against Al Masry (3-0) and Ismaily (2-0), reinforcing their position at the top.

Their confidence is backed by a strong record against El Gouna, having won eight straight home games in the Premier League against them. However, they did experience a setback with a defeat to Wadi Degla (1-2), indicating they can struggle against aggressive opponents. But overall, Zamalek’s solid form and squad depth give them the edge in most matches.

In contrast, El Gouna has had a shaky start to the season, currently sitting in 16th place with seven points. They have drawn four of their last six matches, showcasing a cautious approach and difficulties in finishing chances. With only four goals scored, their attack has struggled to compete even in the middle ranks.

Their last win was in early August, and since then, they have been stuck with draws and a loss to Haras El Hodoud (1-2). Notably, they often reach halftime level; this has happened in six straight matches, indicating a strategy focused on discipline and a tight midfield. However, against the league leaders, this may not be sufficient, and their limited attacking options could hinder their effectiveness.
