The home team goes into this clash on an impressive run of form, as they are currently five games unbeaten in all competitions, having won four and drawn once. That stellar recent run includes four games unbeaten in the Egyptian top flight.
Their league matches have been relatively low-scoring, as three of their last four league matches have produced under 2.5 goals. The low-scoring run ended last time out with a 2-1 home win over Al Ittihad.
Zamalek has been strong on home soil in the Egyptian top flight, as they are undefeated in six league matches on home soil, having recorded five wins.
They also have a strong defensive record on home soil lately, keeping clean sheets in four of their previous six league matches at home.
The visitors have picked up just 32 points from their 31 outings in the Egyptian Premier League, which has seen them drop into the league’s relegation zone.
However, they are only in the bottom three courtesy of an inferior goal difference to their rivals directly above.
Ghazl Al Mahalla’s recent form has been poor, as they are winless in ten games in all competitions, having suffered eight defeats. That record includes seven losses in their previous nine league games.
Reda Shehata’s team have a poor record on their travels in the Egyptian Premier League, as they are winless in 12 away games.
A lack of goals has been the main contributing factor in their recent form on their travels, as they have failed to score in four of their last five matches on the road.
Forebet predicts that Zamalek will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to enhance their chances of a top-four finish.
