Last five games: WDWWW

The White Knights are on an eight-match unbeaten run and have set their sights on winning the league after their CAF champions league disappointment this season.

They are now six points ahead of second-place Pyramids who have a game at hand, although Al Ahly who are on continental duty have thirty-three points with three games to play, if the Red Devils eventually win these matches, they will be a point ahead of Zamalek.

They came back from a goal down to defeat Al Masry on matchday 16. The match against Eastern Company on matchday 17 almost resulted in a share of the spoils but the individual brilliance of Zizo ensured they went with all the points.

Zamalek are not too tough at home as they have lost once, drawn twice and won five in the last eight matches, however, they have scored the most goals (17) and conceded (10) this season.

The guests have drawn half of their matches this season with four wins and four losses in the last sixteen games. They have won a game in the last six matches but have scored eight goals in those encounters.

They came back from two goals down to share points with the National bank of Egypt on matchday 17.

ENPPI have picked up five points from a possible fifteen in the last five matches and have won two, lost three and drawn three in the last eight matches played on the road.

In the last seven matches played together in this competition, Zamalek SC have won six while ENPPI have won just once.

Zamalek are not mathematically the league leader at the moment because Al Ahly still have three matches in hand and nine points from those matches will place them above Zamalek SC by a point.

Zamalek are well motivated for this match and will take it with utmost importance as this is their only chance of winning a silverware this season, bet on the home victory for 1.60.

The visitors were beaten by the hosts in their first match this season and we believe the same scoreline might be recorded here, bet on a correct score of 2-0 for 5.50.

Zamalek have won at halftime in three out of the last four games played together, bet on halftime win for 2.08.

Good luck!
