Zamalek vs RSB Berkane Prediction: We anticipate a convincing victory for the hosts against the Orange Boys

The White Knights are determined to turn the tables and claim victory in the upcoming second leg of the fiercely contested CAF Confederation Cup final against RSB Berkane at the Cairo International Stadium on Sunday. Despite RSB Berkane's first-leg victory over Zamalek, the hosts are ready to give it their all and secure the CAF Confederation Cup title.

Zamalek (Egypt)

Last five games: WWDWL

The 2019 CAF Confederation Cup winners have been pretty solid this season. However, they bowed to a (2-1) defeat on the road against RSB Berkane. Seifeddine Jaziri kept his side in this tie after his second-half goal against RSB Berkane in Morocco. The White Knights have been clinical in this tournament until their recent fixture on the road. Zamalek head here with a solid performance on the road against Dreams FC in Ghana, overwhelming their opponent in front of their home supporters. Zamalek scored three clean goals as the Believers failed to respond. 

Jose Gomes' side have been pretty solid lately, with two defeats over their last five matches. Zamalek have the quality to advance to the next round but must avoid unnecessary errors to stand a chance against the visitors. 

RSB Berkane (Morocco)

Last five games: DDWDW

The Orange Boys head here with a deserved (2-1) victory over Zamalek on their ground. Issoufou Dayo and Adil Tahif found the back of the net at the break while the visitors responded once in the second half. RSB Berkane march into the final without kicking a ball in the semifinals after their opponent failed to honour the game. CAF then awarded the Moroccan team (3-0) scoreline in both legs. 

The Orange Boys are among the best teams and the favourite to win this tournament, with eight games without a defeat. RSB Berkane were one of the sides with unbeaten records in the group phase, scoring ten and conceding twice. RSB Berkane were the winners in 2022 and have won the trophy twice, but they have not been in decent form lately. 

RSB Berkane have been solid defensively this season, as they have played eight times, conceding just five goals in this competition. 

Expert Betting Tips

RSB Berkane have won twice while Zamalek have won once over their previous three meetings. The reverse leg ended in a dominant performance from Zamalek; unfortunately, they were poor in front of goal. The White Knights have a long tradition of overturning results, but it might be difficult to do so against an experienced visiting team. 

Just like the reverse leg, where both teams played offensively, we expect a rerun of such a display here. The last time the hosts won a major trophy was in 2021, and they’ll be keen to see off a porous RSB Berkane team tomorrow. Since the arrival of Moin Chaabani for RSB Berkane, they have gone from a boring side to scoring goals as well as not being tidy at the back. They have scored ten times while conceding seven goals over their last four games in all competitions. 

We expect a proper revenge for Zamalek on their ground with a win for 1.73.

Based on recent performance, it's highly likely that both teams will score in this game, with the guests failing to keep a clean sheet over their last five matches. 

We're confident that both teams will find the back of the net, and we expect to see more than two goals in total, with odds of 2.27. 

Good luck!
