Match Preview
Unlike last season, this time the “tables have turned.” There has been a change in the throne, with Al Ahly becoming the new champion of Egypt, even with five matches remaining (they have played five matches fewer than their main competitors).
On the other hand, Zamalek has significantly underperformed this season. They have experienced many unexpected draws and defeats, great turbulence in form, and a short roster to compete on multiple fronts, which “settled the matter” of the title winner almost three months ago.
Looking at the statistics of this season, we must say that Al Ahly absolutely deserved the title. With a record of 23 wins and 6 draws, and a goal difference of 54:7, their dominance is evident. Their defensive qualities were even more pronounced at home, where Al Ahly conceded only 4 goals in 15 matches.
Zamalek lost the title on away grounds. Only 6 victories in 16 matches are simply insufficient to threaten Al Ahly. However, what the numbers and statistics do not show is the fact that Zamalek played only 5 or 6 matches away from home with their strongest lineup due to injury problems practically decimating them.

Al Ahly vs Zamalek Prediction
Al Ahly secured a new title with a victory in the previous round, so this match holds no significant importance for the home team. We expect that coach Koller will give playing time to players with less minutes in the remaining five matches, so it is questionable whether Al Ahly will manage to remain unbeaten until the end of the season.
However, considering that this is the biggest derby in Egypt, we believe that both teams will be motivated to achieve the most favorable result. It is clear why Al Ahly is the huge favorite, but this season has taught us not to write off Zamalek. They have won matches during their toughest crisis moments and dropped points when it was hard to imagine.
Although almost everything is in favor of the home team, we will rely on the desire of the away team’s players to spoil the celebration of the home team and seek revenge for the convincing defeat in the first part of the season. It is definite that Zamalek is capable of scoring at least one goal in this match, which should be enough to cover the Asian handicap +1. The odds for that are currently 1.87 at Sportaza bookmaker, which has more than sufficient value, and we will invest our money on Zamalek.
