Al Ahly vs Smouha Prediction: The home team expected to dominate again

The match between Al Ahly and Smouha for round 7 of the Egyptian Premier League will take place at Arab Contractors Stadium. In their previous encounter, the home team secured a victory on the away grounds. Nonetheless, considering the visitors' recent poor form, do you believe they can improve their performance in this upcoming match?

Al Ahly is coming off a victory in the CAF Champions League against the Ghanaian side, Medeama. The match saw Al Ahly secure a win, particularly due to a more balanced second half in which they scored three goals. The final score was 3-0, with goals from Kahraba, Hussein El Shahat, and Salah Mohsen contributing to Al Ahly's successful start to their campaign. Looking at their recent form, Al Ahly has been unbeaten in their last five matches, securing three wins and playing to two draws. As they enter this league game, their solid performance in recent matches could serve as a positive factor.

Smouha is coming off a home defeat against Al Ittihad in a match that concluded with a 0-1 scoreline. The decisive goal, a penalty scored by Agostinho Mabulu, occurred in the 60th minute. In their previous matches, Smouha managed a 1-1 draw against ZED but suffered a 5-1 loss to Zamalek in an away fixture. It is noteworthy that Smouha achieved victories against Arab Contractors and Baladiyat El Mahalla. As per the current league standings, Smouha occupies the 12th position with 8 points, gathered from 6 matches.

In their most recent five encounters, Smouha emerged victorious twice, securing wins at home with scorelines of 3-0 and 3-1. However, in the last two meetings, Al Ahly claimed two wins, and one match concluded in a goalless draw. Across these encounters, Smouha netted a total of seven goals, matching Al Ahly's goal tally of seven.

There is no way that Smouha would be a good fit for a hot team like Al Ahly at this time because they have demonstrated so much character and are taking advantage of all sides. Due to the fact that it is anticipated that the away team will have difficulty, the most favorable outcome is for Al Ahly to emerge victorious, while both teams could also get on the scoresheet.
