Al Ahly SC vs Zamalek SC Prediction: The Red Devil will maintain their decent run against the White Knights in the Cairo Derby

On Saturday, Egyptian heavyweight Al Ahly will face off against arch-rival Zamalek SC in the race to claim supremacy at the top of the log tomorrow. The Cairo International Stadium will host this Cairo Derby, and this clash promises to be more exciting after their meeting in the Egyptian Super Cup. Both teams are in nice shape coming into this game, and we expect an open game with goals at both ends. 

Al Ahly (2nd)

Last five games: DWWWW

The Red Devils are back on their feet after struggling in some games lately. Al Ahly are yet to activate their full potential and the return of some key players might come in handy against their arch-rival tomorrow. Recently, they scored four times from ten shots at goal against Ismaily to amass all the points. It was a total dominance from the defending champions as they restricted their opponent to just a shot on target. This was after their struggle against Ghazl El-Mahalla on their ground. 

The Red Devils last three games have been impressive, and we anticipate a great display against their opponent tomorrow. 

Al Ahly remain unbeaten in the league this campaign, picking up thirty-two points from a combined forty-one. 

Al Ahly have won five and drawn two games at home in the league this campaign. 

Player to Watch (Emam Ashour): The tricky winger who can also play as a midfielder will torment his boyhood club tomorrow. 

Zamalek SC (3rd)

Last five matches: WLWWD

The White Knights head here with a stalemate against Petrojet as Nasr Mansi saved the day against a solid opponent. Zamalek had more of the ball and created chances; unfortunately, they were not effective enough in front of goal. Their guests drew the first blood, but Zamalek SC responded fifty seconds later to split points. The (1-1) stalemate is a setback in their attempt to challenge for the league title this campaign. 

Zamalek SC have been inconsistent lately, even though they have won two of their last three matches. 

In their last fourteen league games, the White Knights have been effective in front of goal, scoring twenty-five goals and conceding fourteen. Zamalek are playing with precision and enthusiasm this campaign and have lost twice across sixteen games in all competitions this season. 

The White Knights have drawn a game, won three, and lost two games at home in the league this campaign.

Player to Watch (Zizo): The 29-year-old midfielder has been a key figure in Zamalek's team, and his presence will be felt against Al Ahly.

Expert Betting Tips

The Red Devils were pretty decent in their last away game, scoring four unanswered goals against Ismaily. They are back on their feet, and with the return of some key players, they’ll be keen to secure the maximum points here. On the contrary, Zamalek were below par against Petrojet at home, and they were lucky to have secured a share of the spoils. 

This encounter holds significant stakes as Al Ahly seeks to dethrone Pyramids FC from first place, while Zamalek aims to narrow the gap in their pursuit of the EPL title. 

Al Ahly have already lost points against Pyramids FC, and the implication is that they must avoid dropping points against a potential title rival, Zamalek SC, tomorrow.

This is Cairo Derby, and form doesn’t count; however, Al Ahly are slightly better heading here, and they’ll be at their best. The Red Devils will get off to a flyer as usual, and I expect them to win for 1.78 at (1xbet).

This game could end with a cricket score with Zamalek getting a goal at least here; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 1.90 at (Bet365).

Al Ahly SC are known to be the dominant team at home, and looking at how Zamalek performed against Pyramids recently, this game could blow up, and we might likely see a BTTS AND OVER 2.5 goals for 2.23 at (Betway).

Good luck!
