Match preview
Smouha has played six matches this season, with four ending in draws (two 0-0 and two 1-1). They managed to win against Kahrabaa (2-1) but lost to Ceramica Cleopatra (0-1). Currently, they have 7 points and are in 15th place in the league.
Under Ahmed Serdar, Smouha creates few scoring chances but remains solid in defense. This leads to low-scoring matches, often characterized by hard-fought midfield battles.
Haras El Hodoud has had a slightly better start, securing two wins, two draws, and one loss—including a narrow defeat to Modern Sport (0-1). With 8 points, they are currently 11th and have two games in hand over some teams above them.
Haras typically favors a defensive style with quick counterattacks using direct passes. However, against stronger teams, their defense can show weaknesses.

Smouha: Mayhoub, Hafez, Dabash, Ragab, Amer, Fathi, Emad, Fawzi, Ahmed, Amadi, Badji
