On Tuesday, the Red Devils will face off against Smouha at the Cairo International Stadium. Al Ahly have been inconsistent this season, and they only perform well on their home turf. They’ll strive to end their back-to-back games without a win against a struggling Smouha SC side.

The Red Devils' epileptic performance continues as they escape defeat against ENPPI on the road. In a game where they had two shots at goal, Al Ahly were extremely poor and deserved to lose. They settled for a share of the spoils in a game where their opponent missed a penalty kick. Days after that, Al Ahly suffered a loss on the road against CR Belouizdad in the CAF Champions League. The Red Devils presently sit in third place on the log, scoring nine and conceding three.
Al Ahly remain unbeaten in the league this campaign, eleven points from a combined eighteen.
Al Ahly have won once and drawn a game at home in the league this campaign.
Smouha SC (17th)
Last five matches: LDDLL
The Blue Wave have been somewhat disappointing lately, heading here without a win in five consecutive games. Smouha SC were beaten again, conceding twice after their early lead. It was another bad day at the office for Smouha SC, who were terrible at the back. Before then, they lost (2-4) against an El Mahalla team who had ten men on the pitch.
Smouha have picked up five points from a combined eighteen, scoring six and conceding nine.
The Blue Wave had one of the best home records at home last season but have lost twice in three already this campaign.
Expert Betting Tips
Al Ahly have won thirteen, while Smouha SC have won three and four games ending in a share of the spoils over their previous twenty meetings. The Red Devils are struggling to express themselves away from home, trying to be conservative. They have not replicated last season’s success, and it looks like they’ll lose more in this campaign.
The thing about Al Ahly is that they always perform exceptionally on their home turf. They have scored sixteen goals at home in three consecutive games across all competitions, and I expect them to be at the top of their game here. They’ll face off against a Smouha SC team who have conceded six times and this game would be a test of their ability. Al Ahly need a positive response here after their last displays, and I'm confident they have more than enough quality to bounce back from their recent woes; bet on home more than a goal here for 1.78.
This game could either produce more than two goals or below, as we don’t know the sort of guests who will turn up tomorrow.
I expect the hosts to win before the break for 2.01.
Good luck!
