Baladiyat El Mahalla vs Smouha Prediction: Home team will not have it easy this time

In this round 2 Egyptian Premier League encounter between Baladiyat El Mahalla and Smouha, the match will take place at El Mahalla Stadium. Last time out, the club playing at home got their season off to a winning start, while Smouha was only able to hold El Gouna to a draw against them.

After beating Arab Contractors away in their first game of the Egyptian Premier League season, Baladiyat El Mahalla have reason to be pleased with how things have begun for them in the competition. In that particular encounter, Baladiyat El Mahalla scored their first goal as early as the 16th minute, with Samana Abdo converting from the penalty spot. After that, in the 75th minute, Hossam Ashraf clinched the victory for them. On the other hand, that is really the start of what we may anticipate from this vantage point here. As of right now, Baladiyat El Mahalla hold a perfect record of five wins in a row throughout all of their most recent five matches in all tournaments.

Smouha would have liked to have gotten a better result in the first game of their league season, but El Gouna's defense was able to hold the visiting team to a tie. Fady Farid was the one who finished off Mostafa El Badry's ball in the fourth minute of that game to give Smouha their first and only goal of the contest. In the meantime, Smouha had the opportunity to make it two, but Sherif Reda missed the spot. In the 90+4 minute, Ahmed Belhadji scored a late goal from the penalty spot for El Gouna, and they were able to earn only one point from that match. Smouha, on the other hand, enters this match having won just two of their previous five matches overall, while losing two of the others in the series.

Taking into consideration how the new season has kicked off for both of these clubs, this should prove to be a very intense and tough game. On the other hand, despite the fact that Baladiyat El Mahalla are in good shape after recently gaining an advantage over Arab Contractors on the road, this side will most certainly be a source of concern for Smouha on the road. Despite this, Smouha are predicted to have a significant edge due to the experience they have gained over the course of the year competing in this top-tier league. As a result, a draw appears to be the most favorable conclusion that may occur in this scenario.
