Zamalek SC vs Pyramids Prediction: The guests are the closest to securing the maximum points here

After slipping up in their attempt to win their first major trophy, Pyramids will continue fighting till the last game of the season as they face off against Zamalek at the Cairo International Stadium on Friday. The White Knights march here with a decent display against El Dakhleya on the road and they’ll be keen to maintain such momentum against Pyramids here.

Zamalek (5th)

Last five games: DWWDW

The White Knights maintained their undefeated run with a (⅓) victory over El Dakhleya on the road. Youssef Obama scored a brace while the hosts responded once to amass all the points. The result came after their disappointing (0-0) stalemate on their ground against Baladiyet El Mahalla. 

The CAF Confederation Cup winner cannot win the league or qualify for the Champions League again this season as they trail the league leaders by twenty-three points with two outstanding games. The White Knights continue to impress under coach Jose Manuel Gomes, and they’ll be keen to maintain their momentum here. Zamalek have won eight, drawn three, and lost twice in their last thirteen games at home. 

Pyramids (1st)

The guests' dream of winning silverware was shattered a few days ago as they suffered a shocking defeat at home against Al Ahly. Even though they sit at the top of the log, they are just two points above Al Ahly, who have three outstanding games. They lost by just a single goal as they failed to respond against a high-flying Al Ahly team. 

For the first time this year, Pyramids bowed to a back-to-back defeat as they were beaten by arch-rival Al Ahly. Krunoslav Jurcic's men have been at their best this season, heading here with three losses in twenty-nine matches. 

Pyramids have won twelve, lost twice, and drawn a game on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous nineteen meetings, Zamalek have won eleven, while Pyramids have recorded three wins and five games ending in a tie. The hosts have been solid recently but are missing three key players who are represented in the Olympic Tournament. They’ll play Pyramids without some of their star men, and we think the guests might take advantage of that here. Pyramids, who might go another season without a trophy, will play with great enthusiasm here to pile more pressure on Al Ahly, and we expect them to at least walk away with a point.

We anticipate a decent game from Zamalek, who won't bow without a fight. 

Pyramids have not defeated Zamalek in a league game since 2019, but we expect them to see off a Zamalek team who have nothing to play for again this season. 

Good luck!
