How it turned out
We projected about 2.5 goals; the game finished with 1. We made Al Ahly SC to win 72%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
Al Ahly SC host Smouha SC at home in the Egypt Premier League on 3 September 2026. Al Ahly sit fourth in a table of twenty, three points clear of the team above them, Ceramica Cleopatra, and three points ahead of the side just below, Al Masry. They have a modest +3 goal difference after two games. Smouha are down at 17th place, just inside the relegation zone, with a –1 goal difference and one point from two matches. One place above them sits Asyut Petroleum with a point more, while Petrojet-Suez sit just below. The clash could move the two clubs a few places up or down, but for Al Ahly it is a chance to pull away from the pack and for Smouha a fight for survival.
We think Al Ahly will win. The numbers show them scoring about 1.8 goals on average while conceding less than one, and Smouha average only 0.7 goals. Our chance of this result is around 72 per cent. The price of 1.42 matches our view of the game. For us the safest route is to back Al Ahly to come out on top. The only way this could go wrong is if Smouha manage to score first and hold on, which would be a big surprise given the form and the gap in the table.
