Farko vs Kahraba Ismailia: prediction, head-to-head and probable lineups – 02 March 2026
Pharco FC
Kahrbaa Ismailia
One of the matches of the 20th round of the Egyptian Premier League will take place on Monday in Alexandria, where Farko will host Kahraba Ismailia. This clash carries direct implications in the battle for survival, and by all accounts, we’re in for a cautious and tense encounter.
Match preview
Farko are enduring a particularly tough stretch this season. The team has won just two of their 20 league matches and has failed to win in 18 of their last 20 Premier League outings. In their last six games, they've suffered four defeats and picked up two draws, while their attacking output remains one of the lowest in the league – averaging just 0.55 goals per match.
Their home statistics are especially telling: in their last 11 matches at home, every game has seen under 2.5 total goals. The team plays cautiously, rarely opens up, and relies on their defense, but still concedes an average of 1.1 goals per game. There’s a lack of sharpness and creativity in attack.
Kahraba Ismailia have looked somewhat livelier in terms of results. In their last six matches, they've secured one win, drawn three times, and lost twice. Recent rounds saw them draw with Tala'ea El-Gaish (2-2) and Future (1-1), highlighting the visitors’ fighting spirit.
However, defense remains a major issue – 35 goals conceded in 18 rounds, averaging 1.8 per match. On the road, Kahraba are inconsistent, but often manage to pick up points: three draws in their last six away fixtures. The team creates more dangerous attacks than their opponents, but can't boast reliability at the back.
