Smouha will look to seal their Championship round berth when they take on Al Masry at Alexandria Stadium in the penultimate fixture of the Egyptian Premier League's regular campaign.
Facing one of the league’s strugglers, Smouha failed to capitalize on a prime chance to climb into the coveted top nine, as their 1-0 setback against ENPPI kept them two points short of a Championship round berth with only one game left to play in the regular campaign.
As for Al Masry, their winless league run stretched to three matches following a dull goalless stalemate against Ismaily in their latest Egyptian top-flight outing, but even though their momentum has slowed, their position in the upper half of the table remains firmly locked in.
Smouha vs Al Masry Betting Tips : 1X (DOUBLE CHANCE)
There is no doubt that Al Masry have enjoyed a more successful campaign so far, having secured their spot in the Championship Round with time to spare, but Smouha are in desperate need of points here, and we expect them to throw everything they have into this clash to grab a positive result and wrap up the regular season inside the top nine. The Blue Wave have been fairly solid on their own patch in recent weeks, converting four of their last six home outings into victories, so they will once again look to capitalize on home advantage in the hope of extracting something from the penultimate matchday. The odds are in Smouha’s favor to wrap up the regular season with a positive result, considering Al Masry’s recent struggles, which include going winless in their last three league outings and being unable to find the back of the net in any of those fixtures. Smouha will take extra belief from their strong performances at home against Al Masry, staying undefeated in seven straight home encounters with four victories and three draws, which makes it clear that the Blue Wave have ample cause to trust in a positive result on the penultimate matchday.

Al Masry team news
Already sidelined with injuries, Essam Tharwat, Mohamed El Shami, and Mido Gaber have now been joined in the recovery room by winger Karim Bambo, who picked up an injury in his team’s 0-0 draw against Ismaily last time out.
Adding to the team’s concerns, key defender Baher El Mohamady was sent off in the 83rd minute, meaning he will miss the remaining two regular-season matches for his side.
