Zamalek and Al Ahly meet so often it is beyond counting, and lately Al Ahly have been the side taking the win almost every time, unlike around a year ago when Zamalek once thrashed them 3-0 at home. This time both come in in very similar shape. Neither has lost yet in the league, and they are level on 13 points from 5 matches. Zamalek have just lost 0-3 in the cup, but before that they won every league game, and their league defence has been very tight. Al Ahly are no different, winning their last two without conceding at all, and they have just thrashed their opponents 5-0 in the cup. Al Ahly's attack looks like it creates chances more frequently, especially with shots on target clearly higher than their rivals. This game will likely open cautiously, because both teams know well that conceding first is a disaster. But the second half should be a different story, when Zamalek have to push forward looking for a goal, and that is the space Al Ahly are best at exploiting.
