Team Form

Zamalek come into this derby with a WLWWW pattern from their last five outings. A 0-3 League Cup defeat to ZED FC Mars on October 7 broke a four-match winning streak across the Premier League and CAF Champions League. In that run they scored nine goals and conceded one, including a 4-0 home victory over AS Port. The home side has been productive but the recent cup loss raises a slight question.

Al Ahli Cairo travel on the back of WWDWW. They crushed Asyut Petroleum 5-0 in the League Cup on October 7, and their only stutter in the last five was a 1-1 draw away at Al Mokawloon Al-Arab Contractors in the league. With 12 goals scored and just 2 conceded in that span, the away form looks formidable.
