Zamalek SC vs US Monastirienne Prediction: The White Castle are favourite

As Zamalek open the Arab Club Champions Cup tournament against the Sons of the capital of Ribat from Tunisia, the Royal Club will want to start the campaign on a good note. King Fahd Sport City Stadium in Saudi Arabia will host the contest at 18:00(MSK) in the evening.

After placing third in the previous season with 60 points, Zamalek managed to secure a place in next season's CAF continental tournament. Zizo was a crucial part of this team's success during the previous campaign, as he was the only player in the Egypt Premier League to record double-digit totals in both goals and assists during the previous campaign. He scored 13 goals and added another 13 assists. He is going to be an important player to keep an eye on during this encounter. It is also important to take into consideration that this team has won eight of their most recent ten games; this fact alone demonstrates that they are prepared for this challenge.

After placing fourth in the championship group with 26 points, Monastir were cut off from further consideration for participation in the CAF game scheduled for the following season. Club Africain, who finished a point ahead of Monastir in the league standings, got the final continental ticket. However, they are still undefeated in their most recent four games (two wins and two draws), and they have only one loss in their most recent 11 games (three draws and seven wins). To have any chance of winning against a formidable team like Zamalek, they will need to play at the top of their game.

Zamalek are the team to beat in this clash due to the fact that they have more experience playing in this tournament and are doing exceptionally well outside the confines of their league. On the other hand, I expect a close victory for them in this contest where there won't be a lot of goals scored.
