Smouha SC have endured a mixed bag of results in recent weeks, winning two, drawing twice, and ending on the losing side just as many times in their last six divisional matches, and fascinatingly, each triumph has been followed by a draw and a loss.
In their latest outing, Ahmed Samy's squad completed their match against the table-topping Pyramids, a fixture that had been postponed the day before due to a stadium fire, yet the final scoreline proved disappointing for the Alexandria club, who were defeated 2-3 at home.
With seven matches remaining, Smouha's chances of bridging the nine-point gap with third-placed Al Masry look slim, especially given their pronounced fluctuations at the back recently, conceding 2+ goals in four Egyptian top-flight fixtures on the bounce.
Their next challenge awaits against Enppi, who have completely revitalized their top-three finish hopes by scraping together a string of commendable results recently, avoiding the bitter taste of defeat in any of their last seven outings across all competitions (W3 D4).
Despite their efforts, the Petroleum Club have seen their quest for a spot in CAF's second-tier competition falter slightly, as they've shared points in three of their last four outings, the most recent being an exhilarating four-goal draw against the relegation-threatened Arab Contractors.
Taking a cue from their Saturday hosts, the East Cairo club have also revealed some irregularities in their defensive ranks, having shipped two or more goals in three of their last five outings in the Egyptian top division.
In-form Enppi will be hunting for a precious three points to steer their top-three aspirations back on track, but that will be harder to engineer and even harder to do against a Smouha side they haven't managed to best in a full decade, spanning 17 H2H encounters—drawing nine and losing eight.
As Saturday's clash at the Alexandria Stadium is a tough one to call, we imagine both sides finding a way to the back of the net, especially given their defensive shortcomings, where they have been breached multiple times. Adding to that, Smouha's last three and Enppi's three out of their last five have seen at least two goals scored at both ends, underscoring the significance of BTTS in this one.

Smouha will be without first-choice goalkeeper El-Hani Soliman who was sent off in the first half last time out, meaning Hussein Taimour will replace him in goal.
Experienced defender Abdelrahman Amer was sidelined against the Pyramids for undisclosed reasons, so he will have to undergo an assessment ahead of this weekend's contest.
