Pharco vs ZED Prediction: Hosts won’t lose

Pharco will compete against ZED in this round 9 action of the Egyptian Premier League, which will take place at Borg El Arab Stadium. 

In their recent matches, Pharco secured a victory in one game against El Ismaily. However, other encounters in that period resulted in defeats, facing El Gounah, Baladiyyat Al Mehalla, and Smouha, while one game concluded in a draw against Arab Contractors. Pharco scored a total of five goals and conceded seven in these matches, averaging 0.88 goals per match in the current league season. In terms of discipline, the home team received 16 yellow cards and 0 red cards, committing an average of 11.38 fouls per match. Pharco maintains an average team rating of 6.77 per match. Notably, the team struggles with ball retention, possessing the ball at an average rate of 46.63% in this season.

ZED heads into this match with a recent victory in one out of their last five games, securing a win against Zamalek. However, other matches during this period concluded in draws against Baladiyyat El Mehalla, Arab Contractors, Smouha, and Al Ittihad. In these matches, the away team managed to score 9 goals while conceding 8. In away games specifically, ZED scored an average of 1.57 goals per match and conceded 1.14. The team maintains an average rating of 6.63 per match. Notably, ZED excels in ball possession, boasting an impressive average of 55.14% throughout this season.

In recent times, Pharco has not been exhibiting high-level performance, and the ZED team that is visiting is not performing to their full potential. In a match that is expected to be close, I am betting on the home team to at least secure a draw, with very few goals being scored.
