Pharco take on the visitors Zamalek in the round 29 match of Egyptian Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 3rd at Alexandria Stadium (Alexandria).
Based on the results of last season, this team from Alexandria finished in ninth place in the standings. In the current championship, the team has struggled, and after 28 matches, it is positioned fourth from the bottom, just a step away from the relegation zone. They risk playing in a lower league next season. However, it's worth noting that Pharco is truly fighting for survival and has not been giving away easy points to anyone recently. In the last nine rounds, the team has failed to score only once, and that was against Zamalek, but away from home. At home, Pharco has been consistently strong in attack lately, with victories over Al Ittihad (1-0) and Baladiyet (1-0), a draw with Smouha (1-1), and a narrow defeat to Al Ahly Cairo (1-2).

Currently, the "White Knights" are only eighth in the table. Yes, this is temporary, and the team will move higher once they play all their postponed matches. But even if they win all those matches, they will still be significantly behind the leading Pyramids in points. The main reason for this is the inconsistency in results, which largely stems from the team's less-than-reliable defense. Zamalek can draw with Future Cairo (1-1) or lose to Smouha (0-1). They can defeat the reigning national champion Al Ahly (2-1), but also lose by the same score to Al Masry. Even in their recent winning matches, the "White Knights" have allowed their opponents to score. For instance, in the two victories over Ceramica Cleopatra (2-1 and 4-2).
Ideally, I would like to bet on "Both Teams to Score" in this match, but since that option is not available on the site, I'll just bet on the home team to score. Pharco is fighting tooth and nail for survival in the league. Such teams are very dangerous even for top opponents, as they will battle for every inch of the field for every point and every goal, which are as essential as air. The defense of Zamalek this season is far from perfect. Overall, the "White Knights" have not been impressive and seem to be out of the title race already. So, a goal scored by the home team is unlikely to surprise anyone much. Last season, Pharco scored in all three matches against Zamalek: in the league (3-0 and 2-2), and also in the national cup (1-3). In the current championship, the "White Knights" won 2-0 at home without conceding. But it is unlikely they will keep a clean sheet away from home.
Prediction for the match: Pharco to score – yes.
