Zamalek SC vs Al Ahly Prediction: Both teams have equal chances of winning

For the second time this year, two of the most successful teams in the history of this competition will lock horns against each other at the Cairo International Stadium on Monday. Zamalek SC are unbeaten in their previous three games in all competitions, while the visitors boast four undefeated runs. 

Last five games: LDWLW

The White Knights returned to winning ways as they trashed Al Ittihad (3-0) on their ground. For the first time in four games, Zamalek kept it clean, scoring three times without a response from the visitors. Zamalek, who will play Dreams FC in the semifinal of the CAF Confederation Cup, have been solid lately. There has been a massive shake-up in the team's management as they installed a new tactician and laid off some players. The White Knights have drawn three, lost once, and drawn a game on the road this season. 

Last four games: DWLDW

The Red Devils have been inconsistent in the league this season, marching here with six victories from ten matches. They have struggled to win in the league while still unbeaten in the CAF Champions League. Al Ahly left it late to see off an adamant Zed FC on the road as Wessam Abou Ali came from the bench to score the only goal that won them the maximum points. Unfortunately, the Red Devils have not replicated their form in the CAF Champions League. They have amassed twenty-one points from a combined thirty and are eight points behind the league leaders. 

Al Ahly have won three, lost once, and drawn a game on the road season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Al Ahly have won twelve while Zamalek have recorded five wins and three games ending in a tie. The Red Devils have been underscoring in recent games but can’t afford to be indecisive in front of goal against a solid Zamalek side. On the other hand, the White Knights have Zizo and Shilabala in their ranks, who can hurt any team. The White Knights have also been underwhelming lately and always dominate offensively without a full focus at the back. 

Their recent meeting ended in a (0-2) victory for Al Ahly in the Egyptian Cup, but without Percy Tau and some key players missing for the visitors, Zamalek stands a better chance here. Both sides are used to playing offensively, and we don’t think this game will deprive us of goals; bet on BTTS for 1.72.

We expect Zamalek to win either half, as both teams play on familiar ground.

We have a feeling that over 2.5 goals will surface here for 1.88.

Good luck!
