Farco vs Al Ahly forecast, H2H & Likely Line-ups – January 22, 2025

One of the fixtures of the 7th phase of the Egyptian Premier League will occur on Wednesday night in Alexandria, where the home side Farco will welcome Al Ahly.

Game overview
In the prior Egyptian Premier League campaign, Farco ended in 15th position, finishing merely five points clear of the relegation zone. Nonetheless, in the ongoing season, the squad appears much more competitive and is presently in an admirable 9th position in the table, vying for a berth in the Winners Stage.

In the past several rounds, however, Farco has encountered a few losses, which has resulted in a slide in the rankings. Specifically, in the latest round, Farco fell away to Al Masry (0-1), although they earlier secured three points by beating Smouha at their home ground.

Meanwhile, Al Ahly is striving to defend their league crown. The squad is presently atop the table but leads their nearest challengers, Zamalek and Pyramids, by only one point. The entire struggle for the crown remains unresolved.

Heading into the clash with Farco, the Red Devils are recovering from an unexpected home loss to Orlando Pirates (1-2) in the group phase of the Champions League. This setback ensured that the team progressed to the knockout phase in second place. In the league, Al Ahly triumphed in their recent home encounter against El Gouna, 2-0.

Likely squads
Farco: Shika, Gouma, Enkada, Gamal, Marei, Gehad, Emad, Nasser, Fouad, Farag, Sherif.
Al Ahly: El-Shenawy, Allah, Rabia, Ibrahim, Tawfik, Kouka, Ateya, El Shahhat, Ashour, Mohamed, Ali.
