- Competition: Egyptian Premier League
- Date: 7th January, 2025
- Kick-off: 15:00 CET
- Venue: El Tetsh Stadium
Al Ahly SC and Smouha SC will meet at El Tetsh Stadium on Tuesday afternoon. The hosts will be looking to climb to the top of the Egyptian Premier League with a win over the visitors, who are currently second-bottom in the table.
The home side are still unbeaten after their first six league games - there have been three wins and three draws in the first six weeks of the new season. The last draw came in the last game of 2024, when Al Ahly had to settle for a 0-0 draw against ENPPI despite an absolutely dominant performance over 90 minutes. Despite their unbeaten start to the league season, the home side have yet to show their true attacking potential, scoring two or more goals in only two of those six games.
Smouha have lost three of their last five games, including their last two back-to-back defeats against Ghazi El Mehalla and Pharco. Smouha's only win of the season came on matchday one when they beat Haras El Hodood 3-1, but they failed to score in each of their next three games.
Al Ahly – Smouha Betting Tips: Al Ahly to Win and Under 2.5 Goals Total
If we look at the current form and the table, there is little doubt that Al Ahly go into this game as clear favourites. They have yet to lose this season and face Smouha, who have lost three of their last five games.
Additionally, only one of Al Ahly's first six games has seen more than 2.5 goals scored, so a narrow win for the home side with an under 2.5 goals total is a rational possibility.
