Zamalek vs Smouha: prediction, head-to-head and probable line-ups – 11 February 2026
Zamalek will play their match in the 14th round of the Egyptian Premier League against Smouha on Wednesday at their home ground, the Cairo International Stadium. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this clash with a promising chance of success.
Match preview
One of the top clubs not only in Egypt but across the African continent approaches the game against Smouha in less than ideal spirits. Last weekend, Zamalek played an away match in the CAF Confederation Cup against Zesco United and, in a shocking result, suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat. The statistics from that match are concerning: Zamalek failed to register a single shot on target against the Zambian side throughout the 90 minutes.
In the Egyptian Premier League, the "White Knights" are traditionally fighting for the gold, but currently sit second in the standings, seven points behind the surprise leaders, Ceramica Cleopatra. However, Zamalek have played two matches fewer. It's worth noting that Zamalek haven't lost a league match since late September.
As for Smouha, the team has delighted its fans in recent outings. In their last four matches across all competitions, Smouha have claimed four wins—three in the Egyptian Premier League and one in the Cup.
Smouha now occupy fifth place in the table with 25 points, just three behind Zamalek and only two ahead of Wadi Degla, who are eighth and battling to break into the top seven. In seven away league matches this season, Smouha have lost only once, but have drawn four times.
Probable line-ups
- Zamalek: Awad M., Gaber O., El Wensh Mahmoud, Fouad H., Esho A., Gehad M., Farouk Gaafar S., Juan Alvina, Kaied A., Sherif A., Nasser A.
- Smouha: Mayhoub, Mostafa, Ragab, Dabash, Amer, Fekri, El Sisi, Fawzi, Amadi, El Ghandour, Badji.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Zamalek have beaten Smouha in three of their last four encounters
- The "Both teams to score" bet has landed in only one of the last five matches between these sides
- The "Over 2.5 goals" bet has landed in just one of the last five meetings
Prediction
Zamalek are deservedly the favourites according to the bookmakers, but the odds for a home win are quite attractive. We believe it's worth taking "Zamalek to win with a (0) handicap" at 1.52.
