On Dec 24th, Ghazl El Mehalla hosts Pharco at El Mahalla Stadium in a clash of these two closely matched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 17 degrees, which is great football weather. Ghazl El Mehalla has not played yet this season, while pharco sits at 10th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-2 loss against Al Ahly. Ahmed Mohamed Abdel Kader Radwan struck first for Al Ahly in the 30th minute, then in the 36th minute, Shokry Naguib sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Ahmed Sherif. Pharco looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 2 draws apiece.
Pharco is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Rezki Hamroune and Rami Sabri each only have 1 goal in their last five. Ghazl El Mehalla is glad to have Ahmed El Sheikh in top form. In the last five matches the midfielder has scored 4 goals.
