Egypt Cup
The two sides have gone head to head 12 times in all competitions since 2022, with seven of those meetings coming in the Premier League. Al Ahly were the better side in that spell, picking up five wins and four draws, while Zamalek picked up just three wins. The average number of goals per game was 2.53.
Al Ahly SC team overview
Al Ahly’s run of three consecutive league titles in Egypt’s top flight is under threat, with the Red Devils are currently in eighth place and boast only three wins from their eight games so far.
However, head coach Emad El-Nahhas will be motivated by the fact that two of his team's three victories this season came in their last two matches as they beat Ceramica Cleopatra and Haras El Hodoud 4–2 on aggregate.
Mohamed Shokry, Achraf Dari, Karim Fouad, Zizo, Emam Ashour, Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane, Ahmed Kouka, Ahmed Ramadan, Nejc Gradisar and Afsha won’t be available on Monday due to injuries.

Zamalek SC team overview
After winning the 2021-22 Premier League title, Zamalek went on to finish third in three consecutive seasons but are determined to break that pattern this season.
The White Knights have lost only one of their eight games so far this season, boasting five wins, and have kept five clean sheets.
Last week, Yannick Ferrera’s side came close to achieving a third consecutive win when they hosted El Gouna for matchday 8. They went into the half-time break with a one-goal advantage and were ahead until the 86th minute, when Emad equalised for El Gouna.
Centre back Ahmed Hossam has not played any football this season due to a cruciate ligament injury, and Monday’s game will come too soon for him.

Prediction
While very poor performances have been delivered by Al Ahly this season, they remain one of the best sides in Egypt's top flight and are still more likely to win Monday's game – especially when they are playing in front of their fans. However, their opponents have been solid in defence, conceding fewer than one goal in each of their last three games. With just one of the last five meetings between the two sides producing more than two goals, I am expecting a close game that could end in a 1–1 draw.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- All the last four meetings between Al Ahly and Zamalek at this ground ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Five of Zamalek’s eight league games so far this season have ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Only one of the last five games of Al Ahly produced more than two goals.
