Pharco vs Al Masry Prediction: Title win chase continues for the visitors

Pharco and Al Masry will square it off at Borg El Arab Stadium in the week 19 Egyptian Premier League encounter. Let’s preview this encounter ahead and provide possible betting opportunities. 

Pharco are coming off a defeat at the hands of Future FC, a game that ended 2-0. However, prior encounters to that defeat did see Pharco go five matches without suffering a single defeat. Pharco drew El Gaish, El Daklyeh, Pyramids, and ENPPI in that run, with each game ending 1-1. However, the only different encounter in that run of games was the one against National Bank of Egypt, which they won 2-1 at home. Heading into this game, Pharco are in one of the relegation league spots with 12 points from 16 league games, positioning them 16th.

Al Masry will look to end their poor recent performances in this game following a 1-1 draw with Ceramica Cleopatra. In that game, Al Masry did take the lead in the 56th minute of the second half through Mootez Zaddem’s strike. However, in the 86th minute, Ahmed Rayan’s goal for Ceramica Cleopatra denied this side all three crucial points on the road. While Al Masry now head into this game, this side remains winless in their last four league games, losing two and drawing two. In those matches, Al Masry scored six goals while conceding eight.

The hosts need to display character as they desperately need a victory to avoid relegation. Al Masry, on the other hand, are in the run for the league title, and despite a solid start to the season, this side has dramatically declined in terms of performance. Regardless, the visiting team has a better squad and won most of this meeting. While the hosts are expected to be strong, the visiting team looks reliable, and because these two sides' recent league games have ended with many goals, we expect similar results here.
