Pharco vs El Daklyeh Prediction: Hosts will not disappoint

In the round of 30 Egyptian Premier League games, Pharco will play El Daklyeh at the Harras El-Hedoud Stadium. Heading into this game, the two teams needed help to secure a win in their last league game. How will they respond here? Below, I will preview this game and then provide possible betting opportunities. 

Pharco is coming off a 1-1 draw with Zamalek, and in this game, the hosts will hope to get a more positive outcome. In that match, Zizo put Zamalek in the lead from the spot, but Shokry Naguib's goal from the spot was good enough to see Pharco level the scores before halftime while the rest of the game ended goalless. 

In the meantime, Pharco heads into this game with just one win in their last five games, coming against Al Ittihad. In other encounters, Pharco played to a draw with ZED FC, losing to Zamalek and Al Ahly. Pharco has 26 points accumulated from 29 league games in the league standings, leaving them 15th in the standings.

El Daklyeh are coming off a defeat at the hands of Al Ahly, and in this one, they will look to right their wrong. In a game that ended 4-1, El Daklyeh conceded two goals in each half, with Wessam Abou Ali and Emam Ashour scoring a brace. However, Mahmoud Ouka's 90th-minute strike ensured El Daklyeh got a consolation goal in that game. 

In their last five matches, El Daklyeh won just one, coming against ZED FC in a 1-0 encounter where Karim Yehia's goal proved to be the difference. However, El Daklyeh suffered defeats at the hands of Smouha and Al Ahly in games that ended 1-2 and 3-2, respectively, while picking a draw against Al Ittihad. This season, El Daklyeh have accumulated 19 points from 29 matches, the lowest by any side in the league. 

This will be tough, but this game is more vital for Pharco, who is working hard to avoid relegation. On the other hand, El Daklyeh matches have ended with many goals lately, and while their defense line remains a problem, I expect this game to end with a similar result.
