Pharco vs El Ismaily Prediction: A battle of two struggling sides

Borg El Arab Stadium will host this round 21 Egyptian Premier League action between Pharco and El Ismaily. Both teams are currently struggling and will hope for their luck here. How will this game end?

Pharco's last game was against Ceramica Cleopatra, and this side settled for a 1-1 draw. In that encounter, Ahmed Kendouci put this side in the lead in the 37th minute of the first half, but a second-half 67th-minute strike by Shokry Naguib leveled the scores, with both sides settling for a draw at full time. In the meantime, Pharco have failed to win any recent games, losing two and drawing three of their last five. In that span, Pharco scored four goals while conceding seven. This season, Pharco have accumulated 13 points from 18 league games, scoring 17 goals and conceding 27.

El Ismaily are coming off a defeat at the hands of El Ismaily in a game that ended 1-1. In the meantime, that game has extended their winless run to four, losing twice, with one other game against ZED FC, while they drew Future FC and Al Ittihad. El Ismaily scored four goals in that game while conceding six. This season, El Ismaily have accumulated 19 points from 20 games, positioning them 13th in the standings.

These two teams are struggling heavily and have to give their best to return to winning ways. Both teams have struggled in defense, and this could be the case in this one. Also, the hosts won the last game of this fixture, and while they are at home, I expect a similar result, considering that El Ismaily are not in good form.
