On Friday, a match in the 6th round of the Egyptian Premier League is set to occur in Alexandria, with Pharco facing Al-Ittihad. Here’s a look at a bet on this matchup that presents a good opportunity for success.
Match Preview
Pharco’s recent performances indicate struggles against even mid-table teams. Losses to Al-Ahly (1-4) and Tala’ea El-Gaish (0-1) show a lack of stability and cohesion. The manager needs to find solutions quickly to improve before the upcoming league break.
Al-Ittihad is having its own challenges but seems to be somewhat more stable. They have one win, one draw, and three losses. A key aspect is their ability to create chances, although finishing remains a concern with only three goals in five matches.
A significant highlight for Al-Ittihad was their away win against Ismaily, showcasing good organization and discipline. Despite a heavy loss to ENPPI (0-3) last round, the “Greens” are still viewed as favorites due to a stronger squad and more experience.
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
