The sumif formula will sum on B2 and F2 when in F7 since it looks in row 1 to see which cells match E7 and sums what is directly underneath.
As you copy the formula down, you will get the result of C2+G2, D2+H2, etc...
Does that not work for you? If not, why?
Where there is a will there are many ways.

It would be better if you can match the headers to the lookup values... makes for better design and easier manipulation...
... but if you insist on summing as you showed, try:
=SUM(INDEX($B$2:$H$2,ROWS($A$1:$A1)),INDEX($B$2:$H$2,ROWS($A$1:$A1)+4))
adjust the B2:H2 range to suit and copied down.
