Smouha faced defeat in their previous match, away at Pyramids FC (2-5). Did Smouha get overconfident in their match against Pyramids FC? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-5 defeat. Hakam was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.31 out of 10. The defender Hakam scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 3 of 4 duels.

Preceding that match, a home loss in the Egypt Cup against Nojom El Mostabel. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
