Thursday evening in Alexandria sets up a proper test in Group C of the Egypt League Cup. Al Masry host Zamalek with the hopes of extending their lead at the top to 7 points. The Green Eagles sit top with 11 points from five matches, while Motamed Gamal’s Zamalek occupy seventh place. The odds lean slightly toward the Green Eagles, which feels familiar. However, Zamalek’s history in this fixture suggests this won’t follow a script.

Since 2022, these two have met 12 times and the balance is almost perfect. Four wins each, four draws, and very little between them. Goals tend to be rationed. The average sits at 1.75 per game, which tells you how tight these meetings usually are.
Al Masry team overview
Al Masry come into this one riding an 11-match unbeaten run. Seven wins, four draws, and seven clean sheets along the way. The Green Eagles have also shown they can score when needed, hitting at least two goals in five of those games.
They are unbeaten in their five League cup encounters so far, with three wins and two draws, therefore Nabil Kouki will believe his side have a good chance of taking something from Thursday’s game.
Al Masry remain without top scorer Salah Mohsen who is currently away in Morocco with Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations.
After a steady 1-1 draw with Kahrabaa Ismailia, Kouki is expected to keep things familiar, with Baher El Mohamady and Hashem anchoring the defence again.

Zamalek team overview
Zamalek’s form has been harder to read. December brought just two wins from four games, which already felt below par. January hasn’t improved matters. Two games, two defeats, and no goals scored.
That stretch, combined with just one win from their four League Cup games played so far, suggests Thursday could test patience. There is some good news up front.
Seifeddine Jaziri, who has two of Zamalek’s four goals this season, is available again after Tunisia’s AFCON exit. One centre-back has been sidelined since July with a cruciate ligament injury, and this match arrives too early for his return.

Prediction
Stalemate written all over this one. Al Masry arrive with seven clean sheets in their last eleven games, while Zamalek have failed to score in both January matches so far. Four of the last five H2Hs produced one goal or fewer. A 0-0 feels logical, given recent away struggles and defensive setups.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Just one of the last five meetings between Al Masry and Zamalek produced more than one goal.
- Eight of the last ten games of Al Masry ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Bets on under 2.5 goals won in five of the last six games of Al Masry.
