Al Ittihad vs Smouha Prediction: Both teams should net in this game

Alexandria Stadium will host this round 23 Egyptian Premier League encounter between Al Ittihad and Smouha. The visiting Smouha won the last fixture of this game. Can Al Ittihad respond here?

Al Ittihad's last game was a road encounter against Arab Contractors. In that game, Smouha pulled off a 0-1 win thanks to Seif Teka’s strike in the second half. However, a look at this team’s last five games shows that they have two wins, one other against Baladiyat El Mahalla. In the meantime, other encounters in that run saw this side lose to Al Ahly and El Gouna while they drew El Ismaily. In that span, Al Ittihad scored six goals in those matches while conceding 7 in that same run.

Smouha are coming off a 1-2 defeat at the hands of ZED, and heading into this game, they will hope to turn things around. In the meantime, prior games to that run saw Smouha pick three consecutive wins. In that run, Smouha defeated Baladiyat El Mahalla, Arab Contractors, and Zamalek. In that span of games, Smouha scored seven goals while conceding 2. In the league this season, Smouha have accumulated 31 points from 21 games, positioning them 8th in the standings.

The two teams are inconsistent but have shown top performances this season. Looking at their quality on both ends of the field, I expect them to score. Also, while the two teams are of the same level, a bet on a draw is another option.
