Egyptian top flight action takes place on Wednesday evening as Zamalek look to extend their winning run against an in-form Smouha SC.
Zamalek return to Premier League action after a narrow defeat to ZESCO United in the CAF Confederation Cup earlier this week, while Smouha come into Wednesday’s clash in confident mood after extending their winning run with a vital victory over Pyramids.

Zamalek SC team overview
Zamalek SC come into Wednesday's Egyptian Premier League contest looking to bounce back from a 1:0 reversal against ZESCO United in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Before Sunday's reversal, Zamalek had enjoyed a five-game unbeaten run, including three successive PL fixtures.
Strong in Cairo, Mu'tamed Gamal's side remain unbeaten from seven home PL games played this season. Fourteen games into the season, Zamalek sit second in the division, seven points behind Ceramica Cleopatra but with two games in hand.
Previous meetings between these sides should provide further confidence, with Zamalek winning seven of their last nine matches against Smouha SC.
Head coach Mu'tamed Gamal reported no new injury issues this week. Ahmed Hossam remains a long-term absentee.

Smouha SC team overview
Smouha SC make the trip to the Cairo International Stadium with plenty of confidence after they extended their winning run to four with a dramatic 2:1 win against Pyramids last weekend.
Hossam Ashraf's 88th minute goal secured a third successive PL win for Ahmed Abdul Aziz's side.
Up to fifth in the Premier League, Smouha now find themselves just three points behind Zamalek, albeit having played one game more.
On the road, SC have struggled to replicate their solid home form. Abdul Aziz's side failed to win six of their last seven away fixtures across all competitions.
Head coach Aziz has no reported injury issues. Hossam Ashraf could earn a recall after a goalscoring substitute appearance against Pyramids.
