At the same time, Al Ahly Banks will be poised to finish strong after struggling in the previous campaign. 

Zamalek SC

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.

National Bank of Egypt

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.
