Smouha take on the visitors El Ismaili in the round 22 match of Egyptian Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, March 30th at Alexandria Stadium (Alexandria).
Smouha are currently in good form. The team has a 4-game unbeaten streak and has suffered only one defeat in their last 7 matches. They put up a good fight against Ceramica in the cup, losing only in a penalty shootout. Ceramica had only 1 loss in their previous 6 games and was a tough opponent. Earlier, Smouha defeated Arab Contractors, who were on the brink of qualifying for the Confederations Cup. Smouha won away, while Arab Contractors are a difficult opponent at home, having gone undefeated in 12 games in a row. When it comes to smaller teams like Ismaily, Smouha has no problem. They defeated Haras by a large margin and managed to draw against "Bankers". Both teams are neighbors of Ismaily in the league table.

Ismaily, on the other hand, are not in great shape at the moment. They have only won once in their last 13 matches and are currently on a five-game winless streak. They failed to defeat Ghail El-Mahalla in both meetings, who are also neighbors of Smouha in the league table. Ismaily had a terrible form earlier, with 4 defeats in 6 games and no wins. They are struggling against teams like Smouha, while their match against Farco was also difficult, as they couldn't win even though the opponent was down to 10 men during the match. Ismaily had home advantage in that game. This shows that Ismaily has difficulty with teams like Smouha, while Farco is actually a neighbor of Alexandrians.
I think that the first team in this match will not lose at least. This is supported by the fact that Smouha scores in every game. They haven't had a goalless match since January. On the other hand, Ismaili has only scored one goal in five consecutive games against their opponents, and during this period, they've had two goalless attacks. Smouha is capable of scoring now, especially on their home field, and Ismaili's similar tactics will not lead to victory, at least not based on these circumstances. Based on all of this, my choice is as indicated above. Moreover, in the last 16 away games, Ismaili has only had one victory, which shows that they don't excel when playing on other teams' fields. In the first round, Smouha visited Ismaili and punished them, even though they had to play with one less player at some point during the game. Therefore, they have experience beating the Ismaili team, which is undoubtedly a plus in predicting the outcome.
Prediction for the match: Smouha to win with 0.0 handicap.
