Game at a glance
Two sides with very different trajectories meet on 19/02/2026 as Pharco welcome Petrojet in round 18 of the 2025/2026 Premier League. Pharco sit down the table in 18th with just 13 points from 16 games, a team that has struggled to find the net consistently — seven goals scored all season against 18 conceded. Petrojet travel in 13th with 20 points and a much healthier attacking return of 17 goals, albeit with a leaky backline that has shipped 19. Bookmakers give the edge to the visitors: Petrojet are priced at 2.34 while a Pharco victory is out at 3.20, and the draw sits in between at 2.86.
Form and recent trends
Pharco’s recent results read like a side under pressure: only two wins in their last ten across all competitions, with a run that includes several losses and a 2-2 draw in their last outing versus Haras El Hodood. Their 16-game league ledger (2 wins, 7 draws, 7 losses) underlines how thin their margin for error has become. Offensively they are blunt — six goals away but only a solitary goal at home in terms of goals-scored-home figures — which suggests they’ll struggle to dictate the tempo at their own ground.
Petrojet come in with steadier results and more purpose in attack. Their last five league outings feature draws and narrow wins but show resilience: a 1-1 draw with ENPPI in mid-February followed by mixed cup and league displays. Statistically they create more (higher total shots and attacks averages) and find the net far more often than Pharco. Petrojet have also produced five home matches where both teams scored at a solid clip, hinting that they are comfortable in open games and know how to create chances.
Tactical note and H2H
The pair met last season in a lively 2-2 draw, so history suggests goals are possible when these two meet. Pharco’s defensive numbers at home are contradictory on paper — pockets of clean-sheet form but an overall negative goal difference — while Petrojet’s balance of attack and susceptibility at the back makes them a side that often seeks the initiative.
Verdict and betting suggestion
This feels like a classic “away value” scenario. Petrojet offer the more coherent attacking threat, they are priced as favourites by the bookmakers, and their style — more attempts, more dangerous attacks — should be able to exploit Pharco’s inconsistent defence. For those considering goals, remember that Petrojet matches have a reasonable frequency of over games, but Pharco’s low scoring could temper an over/under play.
Final pick: 1X2 market — Back Petrojet to win (Away) at 2.34. Confidence: medium.
