Pharco to win the match
To be fair, Al Ittihad Alexandria have three wins in their last six games; however, it's important to point out that those wins came at home. Al Ittihad have mostly struggled away from home this season, especially in recent months; they are without a win in their last seven road games, with two draws and five losses. In contrast, Pharco have been a difficult team to beat; they have no losses in their last 11 league games. Considering Al Ittihad's poor form away from home, we believe that Pharco will emerge victorious here.
A really low scoring match could be in store
Pharco have had one of the best defences in the Premier League this season; they've allowed just 15 goals so far, no team has conceded fewer goals. Conversely, Pharco have not scored a lot of goals; they found the net just 17 times in 22 league games this season. As they don't score or concede much, Pharco's games have been really low-scoring. As a matter of fact, three of Pharco's last four games ended goalless; their last six games have seen just three goals scored in total. Like Pharco, Al Ittihad have had their fair share of low-scoring games; as their last three games all went under 1.5. Considering seven of Pharco's last nine games went under 1.5, we shouldn't expect up to two goals in this match.

A midtable clash with pride on the line
The result of this game is unlikely to change the feel of either teams season too heavily with both seemingly destined for a finish in the middle of the league. What this game could go a long way to determining though is which side finishes highest with little between the duo right now.
Pharco are coming off four consecutive draws; they are on a 10 match unbeaten run, having not lost a game in over three months. It's worth mentioning that Pharco won just one of their last seven games; they'll hope to take all the points as Al Ittihad come visiting.
Pharco Predicted lineup – Sobhi, Awad, Sabri, Kamel, Encada, Sokari, Hamada, Bahrawy, Ghouma, Naguib, Hamroune
Al Ittihad have had some mixed results in recent weeks; they have three wins and three losses in their last six games. Emad El-Hahhas's men will take on an in-form Pharco side on Monday evening; it'll be interesting to see if they can end Pharco's 10 match unbeaten run.
Al Ittihad Predicted lineup – Yehia, Yehia, Shabana, Salem, Rahul, Attia, Moro, Simpore, Hassan, El Ghandour, Mabululu.
