Zamalek vs Pharco Prediction: Goals will fly in here

At the Arab Contractors Stadium, Zamalek will play Pharco in the Egyptian Premier League. In their last league games, neither team could secure a win. Which team returns to winning ways here?

Zamalek's unbeaten run of games ended against Pharco last time in a 1-2 encounter. In that game, Zamalek conceded in the 20th minute, with Fakhreddine Ben Youssef putting Al Masry in the lead. However, Zizo could have leveled the scores for Zamalek but then lost his chance from the spot before Mohamed El Shami extended Al Masry's lead. However, Youssef Obama scored in the 96th minute of the game for Zamalek, but that was not enough to see this team pick a point. Heading into this game, Zamalek have won three of their last five games, coming against Berkane, Al Ittihad, and Ceramica Cleopatra. However, this team drew Future FC in another encounter that ended 1-1 in that run. 

Pharco settled for a 2-2 draw with ZED the previous time in the league. In that game, Amr Nasser scored twice for Pharco, but that was not enough to earn them maximum points, as a late-minute strike from the spot by Abdelrahman El Banouby denied this side a win. Heading into this game, Pharco have lost just one of their last matches, coming against Al Ahly in a 1-2 encounter. However, they picked a win in a cup encounter against Al Wasta but then drew Smouha and Arab Contractors in games that ended 1-1. This season, Pharco have 22 points from 25 matches, scoring 25 goals and conceding 36 in those encounters. 

This is going to be an offensive-minded game, considering how things have ended between the two teams in recent times. However, with Zamalek at home, we can expect them to show character as they are favorites to win this game. Therefore, with both teams expected to net here, a bet on the hosts to win is another good option.
