El Gaish vs Pharco Prediction: Both teams are expected to get on the scoresheet

Gehaz El Reyada Stadium will host the Egyptian Premier League encounter between El Gaish and Pharco. The last meeting between these teams ended in a 1-1 draw. How will this one unfold?

El Gaish are coming off an unbeaten run of seven matches, and in this encounter, they will look to turn the tables. Last time out, this team played Zamalek, and they lost 1-2 in a home encounter. However, their prior encounters to that defeat saw this team lose to Arab Contractors, ZED FC, and Al Ahly twice, while they drew with Smouha and Al Ittihad. This season, the hosts sit 11th in the league standings with 35 points from 30 league games. 

Pharco returned to winning ways against El Daklyeh, a game that ended 2-0. In that encounter, Pharco took the lead in the 86th minute of the match through Amr Nasser's strike, and in the additional minutes of the game, he added his second to secure maximum points for his side. In the meantime, prior games to those matches saw this team draw Zamalek, while they lost 2-1 against Al Ahly. Heading into this game, Pharco have 29 points accumulated from 30 matches this season, leaving them 15th in the standings. 

El Gaish and Pharco's last five meetings ended with two wins for El Gaish, while the three others ended in draws. El Gaish scored six goals in those matches, while Pharco scored four in the same run. 

I expect this game to be very close, looking at the two teams' recent performances. In defense, the two teams have not been too good, and while the hosts are the slightly better side in this fixture, their form is way below expectations. In the meantime, this game is more crucial to the road side working hard to avoid relegation, and this game could end in a draw, with both teams getting on the scoresheet.
