ISMAILIA, Egypt (Interstat) — Kahrabaa Ismailia FC hosts Pharco on Friday, May 8, 2026, in a mid-table Egyptian Premier League clash at Ismailia Stadium. The home side enters on a positive note after a 2-1 win at Wadi Degla SC on Monday, while Pharco seeks to end a three-match losing streak.

Kahrabaa Ismailia FC (5-8-7) sits ninth in the league table. Their victory over Wadi Degla snapped a two-game skid that included a 3-1 home loss to National Bank of Egypt Club on April 28. In that defeat, midfielder Abdelfatah Sheta contributed an assist before being substituted. Sheta, a creative force in the center of the park, will be a key figure against a Pharco defense that has conceded in five of its last six matches.

Pharco (4-9-7) languishes in 13th place, having lost three straight: 1-0 at ZED on April 28, 1-0 at home to El Gouna on April 24, and 1-0 at Petrojet on April 18. Midfielder Karim Gomaa started in the ZED loss but was substituted early. Gomaa, who typically operates as a box-to-box presence, has not registered a goal or assist in his last five appearances. Pharco’s attacking struggles are evident — they have scored only once in their last seven league outings.

The teams met most recently on March 2, 2026, when Kahrabaa Ismailia FC won 2-0 at Pharco. That victory snapped a run of three straight draws between the sides. Overall, Kahrabaa has won two of the last three head-to-head meetings.

Both teams have shown defensive vulnerabilities. Kahrabaa Ismailia FC has kept only one clean sheet in its last 10 league games, while Pharco has been shut out in four of its last five. The Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw.

Pharco’s other recent results include a 1-1 draw with El Ittihad SC El Iskandary on March 22 and a 2-0 loss to Wadi Degla on April 8. Kahrabaa’s recent form includes a 2-1 win over Tala’ea El Gaish on April 24, a 3-1 loss to Ghazl El Mahalla SC on April 19, and a 1-1 draw with Ismaily SC on April 14.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. local time. The match will be the first of a two-game homestand for Kahrabaa Ismailia FC.
