El Gouna FC and Al Ittihad are set to clash in the Egyptian Premier League on March 11, 2025, at 19:30 UTC at Khaled Bichara Stadium. With both teams aiming to secure crucial points, this encounter promises to be a tactical battle rather than a goal-fest.

Looking at the odds, the bookmakers slightly favor Al Ittihad at 2.7 for the away win, while El Gouna FC stands at 3.0, and a draw is priced at 2.6. Our AI leans towards an Al Ittihad victory, assigning a trust level of 2.9 to this outcome. However, the real value lies in the under 2.5 goals market, which comes with a strong 7.5/10 confidence rating and odds of 1.3.

Why the low-scoring prediction? Historical data suggests that only 37.4% of Egyptian Premier League matches exceed 2.5 goals, and both teams have shown a tendency for tight encounters. Our AI projects a 0-1 final score, with a goalless first half. Ball possession is expected to favor Al Ittihad at 59%, but with only 2 on-target shots predicted for them, breaking down El Gouna’s defense won’t be easy.

El Gouna FC, despite their lower squad value of €2.83m compared to Al Ittihad’s €5.32m, have proven they can pull off surprises, as seen in their unexpected away win over Al Masry. Meanwhile, Al Ittihad’s recent away victory against Ceramica Cleopatra shows they can grind out results on the road.

With a history of tight matches and a league where draws occur 38.2% of the time, this game could be another cagey affair. Expect a battle of patience rather than fireworks, making the under 2.5 goals bet the smartest play for this fixture.
