Pharco vs Al Masry Prediction 22.09.2025 | Egyptian Premier League

After last season’s surprising seventh-place finish in the regular campaign and a stint in the Championship Round, it seems unlikely that Pharco will be able to reach the upper echelons this term, given their early-season struggles.

Based in Alexandria, the club continues to stand out for all the wrong reasons, remaining the only side in Egypt’s top flight yet to register a win from six outings, a slump that has left them anchored at the bottom of the league table.

Last time out, Ahmed Khattab’s side secured just their third point of the season after holding Arab Contractors to a 1-1 draw, with all credit going to Wassef Ramez Medhat, who struck a late equaliser just four minutes after coming off the bench.

What offers a silver lining for Pharco is that they will face El Masry at full strength, with no injury or suspension issues to worry about.

In stark contrast, El Masry have steadily risen in prominence over the past few seasons and look well-equipped to throw their hat into the title race this term, especially after strengthening their squad with several eye-catching summer signings.

Their sparkling start to the season serves as clear evidence that the Green Eagles are serious contenders for continental qualification, having amassed an impressive 14 points from their opening seven fixtures, which currently sees them perched in second place.

To remain in the hunt for the title and keep pace with league leaders Zamalek, who are just two points ahead, Kamel Abou Ali’s men will need greater consistency on the road after registering a 1W D1 L1 record from their opening trio of away fixtures.

Al Masry head into the match with no absences to worry about, as 29-year-old centre-back Mohamed Hashem has served his one-match suspension and is ready to return to the backline.
