- Venue: Alexandria Stadium (Alexandria)
Pharco and Haras El Hodood came into the 2024/25 season as one of the relegation candidates. Both sides had unexpectedly good years as they even found themself in the Championship group. Of course, Pharco and Haras El Hodood can't compete with the best Egyptian teams, but they are still much better than anyone expected.
Pharco doesn't have too many ambitions in the final three rounds as they can't catch any place in the African cups. However, Ahmed Khattab's team is playing well as they have not been defeated in the last four matches. In the previous game, Pharco played 1-1 at home against Al Masry. The guests were slightly better, but the home side played well enough to pick up another point.
Haras El Hodood played in the second level of Egyptian football last season, so it was surprising to see them in the top half of the Premier League. However, after reaching the Championship group, Haras El Hodood's form slipped as they recorded one draw and three defeats in the last four matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Haras El Hodood played 1-1 at home against National Bank Egypt. The home side finished the match with an xG of 0.24, while the guests had only 1.74, so Haras El Hodood could feel pretty fortunate for avoiding defeat.
Pharco vs Haras El Hodood pick: Pharco to win
Haras El Hodood have had big problems with the attack lately as they scored only two goals in the last four matches. Pharco are playing well right now and should win on Sunday evening.

Haras El Hodood team news
A few weeks ago, Haras El Hodood appointed the head coach, Ahmed Zahran, instead of Mohamed Youssef. Zahran seems like a temporary solution as he signed only until the end of the season. He won only one point in the first three games as Haras El Hodood's head coach.
