Stellenbosch Form & Team News
Stellies have just one win in their last four fixtures. They were previously unbeaten in six matches (WWDWDW).
A 1-0 win at Marumo Gallants was followed by a Nedbank Cup exit after leaking two late goals to lose 3-1 to Kaizer Chiefs. A resolute 0-0 draw with ten men followed at home to Orlando Pirates.
After winning 2-1 at Sekhukhune United before the FIFA break, they were beaten on Saturday. Despite having 62% possession, they lost 1-0 at Magesi.
Centre forward Lehlohonolo Mojela is out injured. Ashley Cupido could lead the line or we may see a false nine or two makeshift forwards selected in front of a midfield diamond.
Key left back Fawaaz Basadien will return. He was rested for the last match after starting two matches for Bafana Bafana during the international break.
Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup
Stephens; Kazie, Maloisane, Toure, Basadien; Nduli, Khiba, Jabaar; De Jong; Titus, Nku.
Zamalek Form & Team News
Zamalek have tasted defeat just once in 12 matches in all competitions. With 14 points (four wins, two draws), they topped their CAF Confederations Cup group.
They thrashed rivals Al Ahly 3-0 in the league ahead of a 4-2 cup win over Smouha. Their last three matches have also been in domestic cup competitions.
A 1-1 draw against El Gouna was followed by a 2-1 loss at Petrojet. On Friday, they beat Ceramica Cleopatra 2-1 in the Egyptian Cup semi-final thanks to a 90th-minute winner.
Coach Jose Peseiro is expected to hand Zizo a start up front after his goal from the bench last time out. Left back Mahmoud Bentayg is missing due to visa problems.
Experienced midfielder Ahmed Hamdi and centre back Hamza Mathlouthi are out with long-term injuries. Starting midfielders Abdallah El-Said and Mahmoud Abdelrazek Shikabala are ruled out.
Zamalek Predicted Lineup
Sobhi; Gaber, Moussaddaq, El Wensh, Abdelmaguid, Fatouh; Dunga, Shehata, Maher; Zizo, Jaziri.
Verdict
I see the hosts getting a draw against a weakened Zamalek.
