Al Ittihad:

Hailing from Alexandria, Al Ittihad currently holds the fourth position after completing 22 rounds. However, their proximity to Al-Ahly, trailing by just 2 points despite playing 7 matches fewer, intensifies the competition for a top-four spot. In their previous Premier League encounter, Al Ittihad narrowly clinched a 1-0 victory over Arab Contractors away, aiming to maintain momentum after suffering a 1-4 defeat against Al-Ahly. With only 2 wins in their last 5 matches, Al Ittihad faces a challenging path to secure their standing in the league.

Smouha:

Meanwhile, Smouha enters the fray against Al Ittihad from the eighth position, trailing their opponents by 4 points but with a game in hand. A victory for Smouha could propel them into contention for the top-four race, given the fierce competition at the pinnacle of the table. Despite stumbling against ZED in their previous fixture, Smouha showcased impressive form with three consecutive victories: 1-0 against Zamalek, 1-0 against Arab Contractors, and a resounding 4-0 triumph against Baladiyat Al Mehalla, demonstrating their potential to upset the odds.
