CR Belouizdad vs Zamalek SC Prediction: We expect fewer goals here

CR Belouizdad will square off with inconsistent Zamalek at the Stade Agadir Stadium on Friday. Both teams are in a challenging situation, and the winner here could be among the two sides that will witness the knockout phase.

CR Belouizdad (2nd)

Last four games: WLLW

Marcus Paqueta's men have been below par since the commencement of this tournament. They have won two and bowed to two defeats in the last four games. CR Belouizdad's returned to winning ways when they beat Al Meirekh (1-0) at home.

The three-time quarter-finalists are in the second spot with six points from a possible nine. Their best chance of qualifying for the knockout stage is to secure all the points here, and we trust they won't disappoint their home fans.

Zamalek SC (3rd)

Last four games: LDLW

Zamalek SC are a well-known club from Egypt with a long history of success in domestic and international competitions. However, they’ve found themselves in a strange position in both the domestic and CAF competition, with a win in the last four games. The White Knights have picked up four points from a possible twelve and are on the verge of missing out on the knockout round.

They are currently in third place in Group D and are five points behind the league leader Esperance ST. Zamalek have secured a point on the road this season and will be confident of getting a positive result here following their (3-1) home victory against Esperance ST.
