Zamalek SC vs National Bank of Egypt Prediction: The White Knights will start strong against their guests

Zamalek will kickstart their league campaign against National Bank of Egypt at the Al Salam Stadium on Friday. The White Knights, who have won the CAF Super Cup this campaign, will be keen to add more to their trophy cabinet at the end of the season. At the same time, Al Ahly Banks will be poised to finish strong after struggling in the previous campaign. 

The White Knights, who wrapped up their campaign in third spot last season, have been consistent in recent matches. Zamalek SC are a top side, and they have shown that lately, they are presently the holders of CAF Super Cup after their (3-4) penalty victory over Al Ahly. Despite a poor first-half display, Zamalek settled for a full time (1-1) stalemate against Al Ahly and won the trophy on penalty. 

Zamalek are playing with precision and enthusiasm and are unbeaten in the last four matches in 90 minutes. 

The White Knights have made some top signings and’ll be keen to start strong. 

Tarek Moustafa's men were remarkable in their last few games to wrap up the campaign, as they finally secured a stay in the division. After a slow start to the season, Al Ahly Bank fought their way to the top and were rewarded with top-flight football. This was possible when they shared the spoils against El Mahalla on the road. The game ended in a toothless draw; however, a point was enough for National Bank of Egypt to continue in the league. They picked up thirty-six points from their thirty-four games last season. National Bank of Egypt have improved their squad over the transfer window, and they’ll be hopeful of finishing strong this season.

Zamalek have won six while National Bank of Egypt have recorded a win and two games ending in a tie over their nine previous meetings. Zamalek have improved massively this season, judging by their recent performances. The White Knights are definitely the favorite here, but the guests have some dangerous players who can find the back of the net. Zamalek will start strong on their home turf, and we expect them to win.

This game will produce more goals after the break for 2.05.

Zamalek will likely get a goal before the break for 1.83.

Good luck!
