Zamalek SC

The White Knights began their league journey with a hard-fought victory over National Bank of Egypt. The end-to-end game was nowhere near their best; fortunately, they scored from the penalty spot to win (3-2).

Expert Betting Tips

Zamalek have won eleven, while Smouha have recorded four wins and five games ended in a share of the spoils over their previous twenty meetings. Zamalek are unpredictable, so we can’t recommend a victory for them. They were terrible at the back in their opening game, conceding two penalties. Moreover, Smouha SC were one of the best home teams in the division last season, and their previous three defeats at home have come against top teams. Smouha will fight for all the points against a solid Zamalek side and we anticipate an open encounter from both sides, with a goal apiece for 1.75.
