Smouha SC vs Ismaily Prediction: The hosts can still secure the fourth spot on the log

Smouha SC will play their final game against Ismaily at the Alexandria Stadium on Friday. The hosts have had a great season and may likely finish in fourth spot this season. At the same time, the guests will remain in the league following their (1-1) stalemate on their ground in a recent game. Both teams will play for pride, but we think Smouha will be keen to finish strong this season. 

Smouha SC (6th)

The Blue Waves returned to winning ways as they stunned Ceramica on the road. Abdel Rahman’s goal in the 84th minute was all they needed to secure the maximum points after their disappointing loss against Al Ahly. The hosts are one point behind the top four, and a win here will see them finish in the top for the first time since 2021.

Ismaily (14th)

Last five games: LLDLD

The Darawish will finish their season below the top half of the log regardless of their result here. Ismaily have had a disappointing campaign, having spent more than fifteen teams in the division. They have now gone seven games without a win, heading here with a share of the spoils against Al Mokawloon. 

Ismaily used to be at the top of the Egyptian League, but they have been below par in recent seasons. Ismaily have conceded forty-one times this season and scored twenty-three goals. Ismaily sit in the fourteenth spot on the log, picking up thirty-three points from a combined ninety-nine points. 

Ismaily have won two, drawn seven, and lost seven times on the road this season.
