Backing a draw
It can be said that Pharco did not lose any of their last nine games; however, it's worth mentioning that they won just two of those games, with seven of them ending in stalemates. As a matter of fact, only one team has drawn more games than Pharco this season; they've drawn eight of their last 10 league games. It's even more interesting considering Pharco are coming off three consecutive goalless draws. Likewise, Ceramica Cleopatra have done fairly well recently; as they lost just one of their last six games. All things considered, we believe that this match will end in a draw.
It could be a snooze fest
Pharco have both impressed and disappointed with equal measure when it comes to goals; they did not score a single goal in their last three games, with just one goal scored in their last five games. Conversely, Pharco did not concede a single goal in their last five games. Because of this, Pharco's games usually don't feature plenty of goals; as their last five, and seven of their last eight games went under 1.5. In fact, Pharco's last five games saw just one goal scored in total. Similarly, Ceramica Cleopatra have had their fair share of low-scoring games; they are coming off a goalless draw, with five of their last seven games going below the 2.5 goal mark. With this in mind, we don't think there will be more than one goal scored in this match.
