Smouha vs ZED Betting Tips - Under 2.5 goals

Vying for a spot in the CAF Champions League, ZED faces off against Smouha at Alexandria Stadium in a crucial matchup. While ZED's recent loss to Al Mokawloon halted their winning streak, they remain third in the Premier League,  trailing Al Masry by a single point. 

Meanwhile, Smouha, who remain in contention for a place in the CAF Confederation Cup, sit just below the cutoff in sixth place, a point shy of fifth-placed ENPPI.

Both teams enter the contest with some good form to speak of. Smouha secured a 1-0 victory against Zamalek in their last outing, extending their winning streak to three matches. 

Smouha boast a solid record at Alexandria Stadium with six wins and just one loss in their last ten home fixtures. Defensively strong, the hosts have kept clean sheets in four of their last six home fixtures while seven of their last ten in Al-Iskandarîah saw under 2.5 goals scored. 

ZED, however, boast a strong away record. The visitors are unbeaten in their last five away PL matches while they have lost just one of their previous 11. Under 2.5 goals was scored in four of their last six on the road. 

Recent encounters between the two sides have favored Smouha, who remain unbeaten in their last three clashes. All three games saw under 2.5 goals scored and another tight contest seems likely given both teams strong form of recent weeks.

While it's tough to pick a winner, I expect this to be a low-scoring contest so I´m banking on under 2.5 goals scored at the Alexandria Stadium.
