Zamalek vs Pyramids Prediction: This fierce contest won’t deprive us of goals

The White Knights will face off against Pyramids at the Cairo International Stadium on Wednesday. Zamalek have won the trophy twenty-eight times, with their recent win in 2021, while Pyramids are still looking for their first major trophy since their inception. Both teams head here with a defeat in their recent games, and we expect a more improved performance from the two sides. 

The White Knights have been below their standard since the season began. Nothing seems to be working out for them, and for a team of their caliber, it’s totally unacceptable. For this reason, Zamalek sacked Juan Carlos Osorio following their back-to-back losses. Zamalek ran riot against Al Mokawloon in the quarterfinals to advance to this round, scoring six while conceding once.

Youssef Obama is expected to lead the line, with Jaziri and Shikabala providing support upfront.

The visitors suffered their first defeat of the season as they were humbled against a strong Ceramica side. It was like a dream when Ahmed Kendouci scored for the hosts, and Mohammed Shokry extended the lead to stun the visitors, who had been shaky in recent weeks. They have won four, lost once, and drawn a game in the league this season.

Pyramids were a runner-up last season, and losing to Zamalek will end their hope of laying hands on silverware.

Their last eighteen meetings have seen Pyramids with three wins and Zamalek with ten victories, while five games ended in a tie. Their recent meeting in the league ended in a (2-2) share of the spoils as both teams scored two goals apiece. The most common result between both teams in the last three games has been a draw. Both teams head here with a defeat in their most recent game in the league. Zamalek SC have lost back-to-back games and have not kept a clean sheet in seven games. They’ll be without a coach for the encounter; however, they have a good record in this tournament.

On the other hand, Pyramids have been struggling to convert their chances this season. They fired eighteen shots and had five on target but failed to find the back of the net against Ceramica. I believe it’s a wake-up call for them, and I think they’ll improve their game against Zamalek. The White Knights can’t keep a clean sheet but will definitely get a goal, and we think a BTTS is possible here for 1.62.

This encounter might end in a share of the spoils for 3.58.

Zamalek remain a top side even though they are currently not at the level required, and we think they will advance to the next level for 2.20.

Good luck!
