Pharco take on the visitors Al Masry in the round 33 match of Egyptian Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, June 9th at Alexandria Stadium (Alexandria).
Pharco are currently positioned in the middle of the table, in ninth place. The team did not aim for high positions nor fight for survival. They are a typical mid-table team in the Egyptian championship. It's logical that towards the end of the season, fatigue has accumulated for such a team, and the results are far from ideal. In the last five matches, Pharco has only secured one victory in the league. They have drawn twice, against Tala El-Gaish (2-2) and Ceramica Cleopatra (0-0), and suffered defeats against Pyramids (0-1) and ENPPI (1-2). I don't believe we should expect a victory from the hosts in the match against the strong Al-Masry, even if it is played on their home turf.

Al-Masry re currently in fifth place in the table. Although they are not competing for medals or a spot in the CAF Confederation Cup, the team can still consider this season a positive one. Towards the end of the championship, Al-Masry has been on an unbeaten streak for four consecutive matches: draws against Ghazl El-Mahalla (1-1) and El-Dakhleya (1-1), as well as victories over Fueche Cairo (2-0) and Al-Ittihad (2-1). Considering the recent results of the team, their players are in good form and are unlikely to be defeated by Pharco.
For this match, my initial bet is X2, as the away team is in better form than the opponent in the final stages of the championship. Al-Masry has not lost in the league during the summer, while Pharco secured their last league victory in May. I also advise not to expect more than three goals in this match. The Egyptian league is not known for being the most entertaining in Europe. Throughout the season, there have been 28 instances where the bet on Under 3.5 goals was successful in matches involving the hosts and 25 instances with matches involving the away teams. My prediction: X2 + Under 3.5 goals, with odds of 1.58.
Prediction for the match: Al Masry not to lose and Under 3.5 scored goals.
