Nogoom FC vs Smouha SC Prediction: Can the host do a double over the premier league side?

ON SATURDAY, Nogoom FC will square off against Smouha SC at the Alexandria Stadium—no preferential treatment here as both sides clash on a neutral ground. Smouha SC have been formidable against teams below them this season, and we are pretty confident they’ll advance to the next round.

The home team head here after their unbelievable victory against Ismaily. Nogoom FC scored twice after the break to defeat Ismaily on the road. The win will give them the confidence to surge forward in their journey to secure their first-ever major title. Since their demotion in 2019, Nogoom were unable to adapt in division two and were relegated. However, they’ve been fantastic this season and are currently on their way to division two.

The visitors have been below par in recent weeks; they have won once, drawn two and lost twice. Smouha SC advanced to this round after defeating second-division side Alo Egypt. The visitors struck first with two quick goals before the final whistle. It was not one of their best performances, but they got the job done. Smouha SC are one of the best away sides but have been poor at home since the beginning of the season. Smouha SC have won five, drawn six and lost four times away from home this season.

Their last two meetings have seen Nogoom with a win and a share of the spoils. Their most recent encounter ended in a (4-0) victory for the home team. Smouha SC have struggled in recent games, and it will be difficult against a team that’s sky-high in confidence. Nogoom won’t bow to pressure from the visitors, and we believe they’ll get a goal here for 1.78.

This game won’t deprive us of goals as both sides have been vulnerable at the back; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.00.

Lastly, we expect both sides to settle for a halftime draw here for 2.22.

Good luck!
