Smouha are still hunting for their first win in the Egypt League Cup this season, and they face a tough challenge away at Zamalek on Thursday. The gap between the sides is conspicuous. Zamalek lead Group C with four points, while Smouha sit sixth with only one. In the league, there’s a analogous ten- place difference, which formerly sets the tone. Let’s break down both sides’ form, team updates, and a many laying angles worth considering.

Premier League
Over the once four seasons, the two sides have met ten times. Zamalek have dominated the fixtures, winning eight, including four clean wastes. Smouha managed two wins, showing they can pull off the occasional surprise. Interestingly, the average goals per game has been 2.7, which suggests these institutions infrequently explode intogoal-fests.
Zamalek team overview
Since their back-to-back league titles, Zamalek have been trying to get their groove back since 2021-22. The White Knights have been consistently finishing third for the past three seasons, and it seems like they're on track to do the same this year, currently sitting in fourth place.
Their performance in the League cup hasn't been outstanding either, especially with the disappointment of last season's early exit in the group stage. So far in this campaign, they've managed to stay on top of Group C with a win and a draw. But, they've got the fans' hopes sky-high.
Their home games have been pretty solid, with three wins in their last four at Al-Mokawloon Ahmed Hossam's out with a knee injury, but coach Ahmed Abdel Raouf's got a solid team. Nasser Maher's been on fire, scoring in both League Cup games and probably gonna take the lead again.

Smouha team overview
Smouha have hovered around midtable for a few seasons, with their best recent finish being fourth in 2020-21. Ahmed Samy’s side currently sit six points above the relegation zone with a game in hand.
Recent form is decent, losing just once in seven league games and keeping three clean sheets, though all wins were at home.
Away games remain tricky for them, and Zamalek has historically been a tough opponent. Abdelrahman El Sakran has scored the team’s only League Cup goal so far, coming off the bench, though top scorer Pape Badji is expected to start upfront.

Prediction
Looking at form, history, and home advantage, Zamalek are well set to grab a 2-0 win. Their recent home record shows three triumphs from four games, while Smouha have plodded on the road and lost their only down Cup match. Nasser’s sharpness and a generally tight protective setup make a clean sheet probably. I anticipate a controlled, confident Zamalek performance rather than a goal-fest.
Four Reasons to Expect Under 2.5 Goals
- Smouha’s two League Cup matches so far have produced just one goal.
- Only four of Zamalek’s last six games have had two or more goals.
- Under 2.5 goals bets hit in ten of Smouha’s last eleven matches.
- Five of the last eight competitive meetings at this venue ended with fewer than three goals.
