Ceramica vs Smouha SC Prediction: This fierce battle will end in favor of the home side

Ceramica Cleopatra will continue their title defense when they lock horns against Smouha SC at the Arab Contractors Stadium on Wednesday. The home side are one of the most improved sides in the division this season, and we expect them to exert dominance over their opponent here.

Aymen Al Rammadi's men are the real deal this season, and the early signs have shown they’ll give the top guns a run for their money. Ceramica march here with a (1-1) share of the spoils against El Dakhleya. Ceramica won the group, picking up seven points from a combined nine. 

Ceramica found the back of the net six while conceding twice in all their matches. They won twice and bowed to a share of the spoils in their last three games. 

Ahmed Samy’s men booked their ticket to the quarterfinals after picking up four points from a combined nine. The visitors' side began their journey with a (1-0) defeat on the road as they were beaten by uninspiring Baladiyat Al Mahalla. They settled for a tie against Future FC and did the unthinkable when they won (0-2) on the road to Al Ittihad. 

The Blue Waves were a goal better than Future FC, who finished third on the spot. 

Both sides have won once and four games ending in a tie over their previous six meetings. Ceramica have been a tough nut to crack for teams in recent games. They won their group with two wins and a share of the spoils. At the same time, Smouha SC have been pretty solid lately. This is one of the most anticipated games of the knockout stage, as two of the best coaches clash against each other tomorrow. The home side are definitely not going to bottle this game; they have added some real quality to their lineup. 

This is a fierce encounter, and it could go both ways. However, Ceramica will fight with their last blood to defend their title. We expect the home side to score more than a goal for 2.30.

Both teams will definitely get a goal apiece for 2.00.

Ceramica will get the first goal for 1.75.

Good luck!
