5th placed Smouha host recent title winners Al Ahly on Friday in an eagerly anticipated Egyptian Premier League bout at the Alexandria Stadium. Coming into our Smouha vs Al Ahly preview below, the visiting champions should be in buoyant mood after clinching their third title in four seasons, while Smouha still harbour hopes of qualifying for the CAF Confederations Cup by finishing 3rd.

Ahead of our Smouha vs Al Ahly betting tips and prediction, head coach Moamen Soliman will be hoping to stretch Smouha’s unbeaten run to seven games – unfortunately for Soliman, it’s the irrepressible Al Ahly that are coming to town. Smouha have only scored a paltry six times in their last seven fixtures despite their good run.
Newly crowned champions Al Ahly clinched their third title in four seasons following their 2-2 draw at home to second-placed Misr Lel-Makasa last time out and Hossam El-Badry’s team are on course to remain unbeaten for the Egyptian Premier League campaign. Before our Smouha vs Al Ahly predictions, the away side’s remarkable defensive record is worth noting – they have conceded just nine goals in thirty games.
In the reverse league fixture between these sides back in early December, it took a last minute Saad Samir strike to win the points for Al Ahly in a 1-0 victory. That result and the fact the home side have lost just once all season at their own ground has a large impact on our Smouha vs Al Ahly picks.
Now that the Egyptian title has been wrapped up, Al Ahly’s focus will be completely on making progress in the CAF Champions League. For that reason and the ones detailed above, I think Smouha can earn themselves a draw on Friday.
