Future FC vs El Gounah Betting Tips: UNDER 2.5

Following a two-week hiatus, Future resumes their league duties in good form, having compiled four consecutive top-flight matches without defeat, three of which ended in draws, the latest being a goalless affair against Al Masry on May 26.

With just seven registered triumphs out of 23 fixtures, it points to a sharp decline in results, especially considering that MOF had as many as 12 victories to their name in the same phase last season, but fortunately, they are still in the race for continental berths, trailing ZED by just five points.

One of the reasons they've been encountering increasingly rare successes this term is their lackluster finishing touch in front of goal, with Future have struck a paltry 22 goals in 23 appearances, making them one of the least prolific attacking sides in the Egyptian top-tier.

Despite their struggles in finding the back of the net, Talaat Youssef's men have been well-discpilined at the back, shipping just 18 goals, while their defense has particularly excelled recently with an impressive four clean sheets in the last five matches.

In the meantime, El Gounah has plunged into a serious slump, failing to register a victory in any of their last five league matches, while they needed penalties to knock out top-flight counterpart Baladiyat El Mahalla from the cup late in May.

It's fair to say that the Gounies are grappling with the same issue as their upcoming rival, having gone three matches without scoreless, playing back-to-back goalless draws against El Daklyeh and El Gaish before succumbing to a narrow 0-1 loss to the table-topping Pyramids.

When it comes to their visits, offensive woes are becoming even more pronounced and serious for GOU, who have been unable to get on the scoresheet in four straight away fixtures in the division, and it seems unlikley that their situation will improve against Future side, which has posted shutouts in four out of their last five home games.

Moreover, MOS has seen three of their last five home league matches conclude without any goals, setting the scene for yet another closed-off and uneventful contest between two teams struggling in the final third of the pitch.
