Smouha SC vs Al Mokawloon Prediction: Home to draw the first blood here

ON THURSDAY, Smouha SC will face off against Al Mokawloon at the Alexandria Stadium. This fixture has witnessed more share of the spoils (11) in their last twenty meetings than wins.

Following their opening day share of the spoils against El Gouna at home, Smouha won their first three points, defeating Baladiyet El Mahalla on the road. Smouha got a goal disallowed in the 27th minute but broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute. They were gifted another when the home side committed a professional foul in the 54th minute, ending in a (0-2) away victory.

Smouha SC won just four times in front of their home fans last season, a record that hindered their chances of making the top four. They’ll have to amend that to keep up with the top guns in the division.

After their (0-2) disappointing defeat in their opening match, Al Mokawloon fought with their last breath to snatch a point on the road against Zamalek. Al Mokawloon, who played mostly in their half, scored in the 99th minute to cancel the White Knights lead.

A Mokawloon will be without their highest goalscorer, John Okoli, who signed for a Libya-based side; however, they have replaced him with Mahmoud Wadi of Pyramids.

Eleven games ended in a tie, while Al Mokawloon won four, and Smouha recorded five victories over their previous twenty games. Smouha SC were fantastic in their recent match, scoring twice. On the other hand, Al Mokawloon snatched a point away from home at Zamalek. Smouha have scored first in the first of their last five games, and we believe they are the favourite to win here, having seen their previous two matches; bet on home score first for 1.89.

We expect Smouha to win either half for 1.82.

Al Mokawloon are a strong side on the road, and since Smouha have failed to keep a clean sheet at home over their last five games; bet on BTTS for 1.90.

Good luck!
