Pharco vs El Gouna Prediction: Expect a close contest

Harras El-Hedoud Stadium will host the Egyptian Premier League encounter between Pharco and El Gouna. The two teams are coming off a league win and will hope for a similar result here. Which team wins this one? Below, I will preview this game and offer predictions. 

Pharco

Pharco took on El Ismaily in their last league contest and won. In a 0-2 contest, second-half strikes from Yassine Mohamed Abdelkader Elmallah and Azmi Ghouma were enough to see this team take maximum points. In the meantime, that win was Pharco’s second in recent matches, having defeated Ceraminca Cleopatra. Ahead of this game, Pharco have lost to Zamalek and Haras El Hodood in recent matches, while they drew with Modern Sport. With 22 points, the home team sits in 8th spot, scoring 17 goals and conceding 19.

El Gouna

El Gouna played Modern Sport the previous time out and secured a hard-fought victory. In a 2-3 contest, a brace from Tolulope Ojo was enough to put this team in the lead and in the 49th minute, Favour Akeem's goal gave them a solid lead before conceding twice in the final minutes of the game. However, that win was El Gouna’s second in a row and third in their last four games, having defeated El Ismaily and Ceramica Cleopatra in the run. Heading into this fixture, El Gouna have two wins in their last three on the road. With 16 points, El Gouna sit 15th in the standings, scoring ten goals and conceding 15.

Pharco and El Gouna are coming off a win and will be confident getting things right. While this should be a close contest, I believe this home turf advantage will be the most important one in this game. Also, while the two teams should attempt a few attacking plays, a bet on a few corners should be another option.
