Preview, Predictions, H2h. Lineups: Al Mokawloon Al Arab vs Pharco FC – Predictions Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 17, 2025

On Wednesday, September 17, Cairo will host a match in the Egyptian Premier League as Arab Contractors face Pharco. The game will start at 16:00 Central European Time. Here’s a look at the scoring potential for both teams in this matchup.

Arab Contractors

Arab Contractors are back in the Premier League after finishing first in the second division. However, their return has not gone well. In six matches, they have earned just three points from three draws and three losses. Their scoring issues are evident, as they failed to score in five of those games, with their only goal coming in a 1-1 draw against Ghazl El-Mahalla. All six of their matches this season have been low-scoring, with each having fewer than 2.5 goals. Currently, they sit at 19th in the table, having scored one goal while conceding five.

Their home performance is also concerning, as they have not won in their last four matches. However, in their previous three home games against Pharco, Arab Contractors remain unbeaten with one win and two draws.

Pharco

Pharco ended last season in 7th place in the Egyptian Premier League, qualifying for the championship group and finishing 15 points below the top three. Their Egyptian Cup run ended in the Round of 16, losing to Ghazl El-Mahalla in extra time. In the Egyptian League Cup, they progressed from the group stage to the playoffs.

The new season has been challenging for Pharco. They have not won in five league matches, managing two goalless draws and three defeats. They scored only once and conceded six goals, leaving them at the bottom of the table with two points. This poor stretch means they haven’t won in ten matches when factoring in the end of last season.

Goals have been rare for Pharco, as four of their five matches this season ended with fewer than 2.5 goals, many with even less than 1.5. In their six encounters with Arab Contractors, Pharco has won twice, Arab Contractors once, with three draws. Notably, five of those matches also ended with under 2.5 goals.
