Smouha vs Zamalek SC Prediction: Both sides will at least get a goal apiece in an evenly contested fixture

Smouha SC will square off against Zamalek at the Alexandria Stadium on Friday in what seems to be an evenly contested game. After the opening day results from both teams, we anticipate an open match here. 

The Blue Wave have been up and running in the league since the last campaign, as only the top three teams in the league have beaten them lately. More recently, Smouha SC scored three times in the league against newly promoted Haras El Hodood. Smouha SC have started their season with great momentum, and they’ll give Zamalek a run for their money. 

The Blue Wave have one of the best home records with ten wins, drawn three, and lost five. 

The White Knights began their league journey with a hard-fought victory over National Bank of Egypt. The end-to-end game was nowhere near their best; fortunately, they scored from the penalty spot to win (3-2). It was a terrible defensive performance from Zamalek, who conceded two penalties in a single game. 

Zamalek, who wrapped up their campaign in the third spot last season, have been consistent in recent matches. Zamalek SC are a top side, and they have shown that lately, they are presently the holders of the CAF Super Cup after their (3-4) penalty victory over Al Ahly. The White Knights have made some top signings and’ll be keen to start strong. 

Zamalek have won eleven, while Smouha have recorded four wins and five games ended in a share of the spoils over their previous twenty meetings. Zamalek are unpredictable, so we can’t recommend a victory for them. They were terrible at the back in their opening game, conceding two penalties. Moreover, Smouha SC were one of the best home teams in the division last season, and their previous three defeats at home have come against top teams. Smouha will fight for all the points against a solid Zamalek side and we anticipate an open encounter from both sides, with a goal apiece for 1.75.

Smouha SC are the favorite here as Zamalek will definitely struggle on the road; bet on a home win or draw and BTTS for 2.65.

Both sides will most definitely settle for a halftime draw here for 2.07.

Good luck!
