The Green Eagles bounced back from their back-to-back defeats as they stunned unbeaten ENPPI on the road. Al Masr Al Masry drew the first blood before the break, and the hosts responded; however, both sides thought they had a point apiece until Mido Gaber came from the bench to score the winner. Before then, they were totally humiliated by a resurgent National Bank of Egypt on their ground in one of the shocking results of the round. Green Eagles moved to the ninth spot on the standings, picking up twelve points from a possible twenty-one. Al Masry have had a poor start on their ground with a defeat and two wins.

Things are going in the right direction for the Egyptian heavyweight, who have won five consecutive games in all competitions with a clean sheet in four. Zamalek assumed the 9th spot after their (0-2) victory over Future FC on the road. The White Knights were unstoppable in the game as they deprived the home side of goals on their ground. Zamalek head here with a slim victory over Sagrada Esperanca in the third round of the CAF Confederation Cup. Zamalek have won twice, drawn a game and lost once in their last four games on the road.

Zamalek SC have won thirteen, while Al Masry have received four wins and three games ending in a tie over their previous twenty meetings. The White Knights are back on their feet but face a stern test against an unstable Al Masry side. The hosts' last game on their ground yielded a massive defeat against a winless National Bank of Egypt, conceding four without a response. We are not sure they can stop the visitors from finding the back of the net. However, we expect Zamalek to keep the ball rolling to the detriment of conceding. This game will produce more than two goals for 2.17.

We also expect the visitors to win either half for 1.82.

This game might end in a halftime draw for 2.01.
