Zamalek vs Al Ahly Prediction

Both teams have kicked off their Egyptian Premier League campaign on a positive note and have recorded two wins in a row without conceding a goal. Al Ahly have a 100% record across all competitions this season and have not conceded a goal in their five games this term, including two preliminary round games in the CAF Champions League.

Zamalek have won their last six games across all competitions and will be looking to extend that winning run here. El Mared have struggled in their recent games against Zamalek and, having failed to win their last two finals, nerves might get the better of them in this game. We are backing Zamalek to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Zamalek 2-1 Al Ahly
