Tala'ea El Geish vs Pharco FC Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals

Two points short of safety with just four games remaining, Tala'ea El Geish´s recent improvements have come at exactly the right moment. Having failed to win 15 successive league games between December and April, back-to-back PL victories in the past three weeks have given the hosts renewed hope of pulling off a relegation great-escape. Tala´ea also scored a big 3:0 win against El Sharqiya in the Egyptian Cup, extending their winning sequence to three games.

However, the home side can expect a tough contest on Tuesday, with Pharco coming into this fixture having lost just one of their last 12 league games, leaving the visitors seventh in the division, some 12 points clear of Tala´ea.

Based on both teams' recent goal numbers, it seems likely that this vital PL contest will produce under 2.5 goals. Pharco's recent home Premier League games have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six matches. 

Similarly, El Geish has witnessed a lack of goal-scoring action in their away fixtures, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches on the road. Notably, all four of El Geish's recent away games have ended in goalless draws, further emphasizing their defensive resilience. 

Additionally, each of the four meetings between these sides in the past 16 months all finished with under 2.5 goals scored. Based on these factors, a tight and low-scoring encounter is on the cards for this match, and we´re confident the under 2.5 goal pick should land with the home side potentially having enough form to edge to a vital three points.
