Only days ago, the clubs in Egypt decided to vote for the cancelation of the relegation this season. So, all teams in this last round of the relegation group are pretty much without a motive.
In the previous decade, El Gaish have been mostly a mid-table team. This year, after some ups and downs and ending up in the Relegation Group, they secured survival a few rounds before the end of the regular season and before the mentioned agreement between the clubs. Right now, they are in 3rd place in the Relegation Group with 28 points in 24 rounds - six points away from the danger zone.
Modern Sport have been the worst team in the league in the regular phase, and it wasn't close. However, when the Relegation Group began, they started playing great, winning five of seven matches. They moved away from the bottom two spots, which meant relegation (before the mentioned agreement between the clubs). Now, one round before the end of the season, they are sitting in sixth place with 25 points from 24 rounds - three away from El Ismaili and Ghazi El Mahallah.
El Gaish vs Modern Sport pick: Under 2.5 goals
El Gaish have been absolutely great for this bet, as they went under 2.5 goals in the last six games with only 0.83 goals per game during that stretch. They have struggled offensively throughout the season, both at home and away from it. Thus far, they have scored one or zero goals in 13 out of 17 home games in all competitions - 74.5%.
Modern Sport are in good form, but we do not believe they can offer a good offensive performance against El Gaish, which had four clean sheets in the last six matches. Also, away from home, they weren't too impressive on the offensive end, scoring two (or more) goals in less than 19% of their games (3 of 16).
The previous h2h game ended as a goalless draw. Moreover, all eight h2h games between these teams finished with fewer than three goals. Considering the trend in the previous h2h games and all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this Premier League tie.

Modern Sport team news
Right full/wing-back Ali Fawzi suffered an injury in the previous game against Al Ittihad and had to leave the field after only 14 minutes. The 33-year-old midfielder has been one of the team's key players, starting in almost 80% of their Premier League games.
Additionally, central defender Abdelrahman Rashdan will remain sidelined with his injury. However, his absence will not be too big a factor as he wasn't an important part of the rotation.
