Match preview

Smouha head into this clash in poor form, having lost all four matches in the championship group and managing just a single goal in that run. Their recent 0-1 defeat to Al Masry once again exposed familiar issues: limited attacking creativity, a defense under constant pressure, and a midfield that struggles to link play effectively.

Offensively, Smouha rely heavily on moments of inspiration from Samuel Amadi, but he is often left isolated. While the team tries to disrupt opponents with physical play and frequent fouls, this approach rarely translates into real control or sustained pressure.

Zamalek, by contrast, appear far more organized, despite their recent 0-3 loss to Al Ahly. That defeat looks more like an exception, as prior to it they secured a narrow win over Pyramids and held ENPPI to a draw, showing a disciplined and structured style of play.

The visitors’ strength lies in midfield, where Abdallah El Said and Mohamed Shehata control the tempo through composed passing. In attack, Juan Alvina has been a key figure, contributing goals, intelligent movement, and constant pressure on opposing defenses.

Probable lineups

Smouha: Maihoub, Mostafa, Amer, Reda, Hafez, Samadu, Fekri, El-Sisi, El-Gandour, Amadi, Ashraf

Zamalek: Soliman, Hassan, Abu El-Fotouh, Gaber, Abdelmagid, Shehata, El Said, Ismail, Rabi, Alvina, Mansi
