Geish haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 373 minutes ago. Jouini scored that one.

The home team returns to Gehaz El Reyada Stadium after drawing with Misr Lel Makasa (placed 14th) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0.

Ahead of that match, El Geish lost 0-1 at home to El Gounah.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how El Geish have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 20 matches with the results: Won six, drawn nine and lost five.

The lack of attacking qualities in El Geish means that they have only scored 1 goal in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Geish are not conceding a lot of goals here at Gehaz El Reyada Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.

Pharco form and stats

2 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Pharco playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. Pharco has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Pharco goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhi is eager to challenge this, with his 233 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

The club members enjoyed Pharco's previous game versus ENPPI (placed 13th), a 1-0 win played at home.

Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus ENPPI.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pharco playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were zero Pharco wins, zero draws and five defeats.

Pharco have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 5 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Pharco as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
