Al Masry could have a big role in the Egyptian Premier League this season. They are not among the wealthiest teams in the competition, but after seven rounds, Al Masry won 12 points, so Ali Maher's team is only three points behind the league leader, Al Ahly. However, Al Masry haven't impressed lately, with seven games in a row without a victory in all competitions. Last weekend, Maher's team played 1-1 in the CAF Confederation Cup on the road against Enyimba. The guests probably deserved more than one point as they doubled the opponent's xG.
Most pundits expected Pharco to be one of the weakest Premier League teams, but they are currently more than solid with ten points from the first seven matches. Pharco lost only two of the last seven matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 3-1 at home in the Egyptian cup against Tersana. Pharco lost every one of the last four h2h matches against Al Masry, but this year, they are playing well, and maybe they could make a surprise on Thursday evening.
Al Masry vs Pharco pick: Under 2.5 goals
There were two or fewer goals in each of the last 11 Al Masry matches. We should expect another low-scoring game on Thursday evening.
