On Friday, a match in the 6th round of the Egyptian Premier League will be held in Alexandria, featuring Pharco against Al-Ittihad. Let’s explore a potential bet on the likely outcome of this game.
Match Preview
Pharco is struggling in the current Egyptian Premier League season. After four matches, they have not won any, earning only one point and scoring just one goal. Their offense has been weak, and the defense has committed errors, allowing six goals in four games.
Recent performances indicate Pharco cannot compete effectively even with mid-table teams. Notable losses, including a 1-4 defeat to Al-Ahly and a 0-1 loss to Tala’ea El-Gaish, reflect their instability. The manager must find solutions quickly before the league break.
Al-Ittihad is facing challenges as well but appears a bit more assured than Pharco. They have one win, one draw, and three losses. The team is capable of creating chances, even though they have scored only three goals in five matches.
A key moment for Al-Ittihad was their away win against Ismaily, demonstrating good organization and discipline. Although they suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat to ENPPI in their last match, the “Greens” maintain a slight advantage with a more skilled squad and experience in the league.
Probable Lineups
- Pharco: Shika M., Abdelhafi, Ahmed, Hussein, Kamel, El Mizzain, Said, El Bahravi, Fakhri, El Tayeb, Farhat
- Al-Ittihad: Gennesh, Toni, Shabana, Ibrahim, El-Dib, Kanaria, Akem, Liadi, Ajib, Naser, Ebuka
