Smouha and El Gounah have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Premier League.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Smouha have only managed 1 win, 10 draws and 4 losses so far from their games here at Border Guard Stadium.

Happy days for Smouha in their previous game, a Premier League match away at El Daklyeh that ended with a 2-0 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting El Entag El Harby in a game that was won 2-0.
