Meetings between these two teams rarely end in an easy share of the points. Smouha have come away with a 0-1 win at Petrojet's home earlier this year, and before that they also thrashed them 2-0 at home. This time, though, the form of the two sides has gone in opposite directions, especially Smouha, who have just put together a run of three straight wins without conceding a goal. Petrojet return home with a different feeling after a 0-2 defeat at home in their latest match. Although they had won two in a row and held out for a draw in another before that, a defence that has conceded 12 goals in 7 matches is still a clearly visible problem. Smouha, meanwhile, arrive in the opposite state: three straight wins at 1-0, 1-0 and 2-0, with a defence so tight it barely gives anything away, though their attack is not exactly prolific either, scoring just 4 goals all season. This game is likely to be played in a mode where both sides are cautious. Petrojet need to get back to picking up points at home, but facing a team that defends well and is full of confidence like Smouha, the chances of an open, end-to-end game from the start are not high. It is more likely to be a battle in midfield, waiting for a set piece or a mistake, which is the kind of moment Smouha are better at exploiting in this style of play.
