Al Ahly (3rd)

Last five matches: DDWDD

The CAF champions league cup finalists failed to secure the win against arch-rivals Zamalek on matchday 22, and the White Knights came back from a goal down to secure a point in Cairo’s Derby.

Al Ahly have managed to win twice in the last six games and are four points behind Zamalek in the first place; however, with three games yet to be played, Al Ahly stands a chance to overthrow Zamalek if they manage to win all their great matches.

The Red Eagles are nothing short of average in their recent performance with a scrappy win on matchday 15; two goals in the 95th and 98th minute secured them their first win in five matches; however, against Eastern Company, the Red Eagles pulled up one of their most significant performance this season when they defeated the visitors (4-1) but fought back to snatch a point against Zamalek as the game ended in a (2-2) share of the spoils.

Al Ahly hasn't lost a game at home this season, with seven victories and two draws in the last nine matches. They have also scored the most goals (20) and conceded the fewest goals at home this season.

Ghazl El Mehalla (11th)

Last five matches: LDWDL

The visitors are doing well in the league with two losses in eight matches, and they are 9th on the log with six points from the relegation zone. However, their three games' unbeaten runs came to an end when El Geish defeated them at home on matchday 22, and a lone goal was enough for the visitors to cart away all the points in that encounter.

The visitors also took points in their last two away games against Enppi (2-2) and Al Masry (1-1).

They have won twice, drawn five matches and recorded four losses in the last eleven away games.
