Zamalek SC vs Al Ahly SC Prediction: The Cairo Derby might end in favor of the White Knights

A thrilling clash is set to take place at the Cairo International Stadium tomorrow as two of the most successful rivals in African football battle for three vital points. Al Ahly SC, currently not performing at their peak, are determined to avenge their recent draw against Zamalek SC on their home ground. This will be the third encounter between these teams this season, and the previous matches ended in draws. In this Cairo Derby, predicting the winner is challenging, but both teams will undoubtedly fight fiercely for supremacy.

Zamalek SC (3rd)

Last five matches: WDDDW

The White Knights ended their run of three games without a breakthrough as they defeated ENPPI on the road. Zamalek Sc dominated their struggling opponent from start to end, scoring three unanswered goals. The (3-0) victory halted their streak of three consecutive shares of the spoils in the league. 

Jose Peseiro has recorded his first win as the coach of Zamalek SC, having drawn his last three games since joining the White Knights. It’s not good enough for a side hoping to compete for the EPL title this campaign. They are currently ten points below the league leaders, and a defeat could halt their chances of fighting for the EPL title.

Zamalek SC have been inconsistent lately, even though they are yet to taste defeat in six consecutive league matches. In their last seventeen league games, the White Knights have been effective in front of goal, scoring thirty goals and conceding sixteen. The White Knights have won five games, drawn three, and lost once at home this season.

Al Ahly (2nd)

Last five games: WWDWW

The Red Devils maintained their unbeaten run this season with a (2-0) victory over El Gaish SC. The Red Devils, who literally controlled the game and fired twenty-seven shots, had just four on target. The game, which could have ended with just a goal, finished with two goals when Al Ahly were awarded a penalty with the last kick of the game. Yet again, the Red Devils were below par in front of goal as they have scored four times in their previous four games. Before their recent home win against El Gaish, new signing Achraf Bencharki scored a last-minute gasp to save his side’s blushes against Haras El Hodood. 

The Red Devils last three games have been below par, and we anticipate an excellent display against their arch-rival tomorrow. 

Al Ahly remain unbeaten in the league this campaign, picking up thirty-nine points from a combined fifty-one. Al Ahly have won five and drawn three games on the road this campaign.

Expert Betting Tips

Their last three meetings have produced a share of the spoils, with their most recent game ending in a (1-1) stalemate on Al Ahly’s ground. Their recent meeting was more about Al Ahly, who clearly dominated the game but couldn’t find a winner. 

The Red Devils have not been effective enough in front of goal across their last three games, and they must be at their best to get anything away from here. 

This is one of the most fiercely contested games across the continent, and with the level of concentration and intensity of this Derby, it won’t be a cagey one. A win for Zamalek SC takes them closer to the second spot, while Al Ahly SC’s victory might see them leapfrog Pyramids at the top of the log. 

There’s a lot to play for in this Derby, and it’ll be difficult for a winner to emerge. One thing is certain: this game won’t end in a toothless draw, and I’ve a feeling a BTTS will surface here for 1.81 at (1xbet).

I’ve always been a supporter of Al Ahly and what they have achieved; however, the tables could turn tomorrow as Zamalek SC will be motivated to go all out against the Red Devils. This time, I’ll support the White Knights to win or draw and score more than a goal for 2.33 at (Betway).

I’m thinking a share of the spoils at halftime could also surface here for 2.12 at (Bet365).

Good luck!
