Head to Head


Al Ahly hold a 27-7 advantage over Zamalek across 48 previous matches with 14 draws.
These sides last met in June in the Egyptian Premier League as the fixture finished in a 2-2 draw.

Al Ahly Form


The Red Devils have been below their best of late. Two defeats in the last four league matches have seen the side fall nine points off the summit albeit with two match in hand.

After a shock 3-2 loss at Smouha, Al Ahly appointed Ricardo Soares as their new coach. He oversaw a 2-0 cup win at home against Petrojet before a 0-0 stalemate at El Gouna.

The side bounced back to beat Future 4-0 at home then lost last time out. They were beaten 2-0 at Pyramids FC in a big blow to their title hopes.

Al Ahly Injuries & Team News


Winger Percy Tau will not beat coach Ricardo Soares’ disposal due to injury. Key midfield Aliou Dieng is back from injury and could start this one after a substitute run out against Pyramids.

Top striker Mohamed Sherif will hope for a recall after being dropped for the last match.

Zamalek Form


Zamalek have won seven of their last eight matches in league and cup. They sit top of the Egyptian Premier League table with nine matches left to play.
After 2-2 at Al Ahly in the league, they won 2-1 at National Bank of Egypt. A 3-2 home win against Ceramica Cleopatra and a 1-0 home victory over Al Mokawloon followed.

Their last match saw a 2-0 victory on the road at Ghazl El Mehalla. Achraf Bencharki scored twice in 12 second half minutes to seal the win.

Zamalek Injuries & Team News


Zamalek coach Jesualdo Ferreira has a clean bill of health for this cup tie. He may rotate his side slightly with the league title being higher priority than the cup.

Midfielders Abdallah Gomaa and Shikabala were introduced at half time against Ghazl El Mehalla and could start this one.
