Zamalek won two titles in a row before this season, and everyone expected another excellent year. But this season was a disappointment so far by their standards. They are currently 4th with 43 points from 26 matches, while the league leader Al Ahly have ten more points with five games less played! Even though there is a lot of football left, the title is pretty much lost, and their goal will be just to secure continental competition, hopefully, the Champions League.
Zamalek started playing better in recent games and were on a five-game unbeaten run. When it looked like they had overcome their problems, Zamalek lost 2:1 in the last round to Ismaily.
Aswan are one of the teams that often travel between the 2nd Division and Premier League. They secured the promotion last season by winning the league, and they are doing OK in this one. After 27 rounds, they are in 12th place - six points away from the danger zone.
Recently, Aswan are in bad form. They won just one game in the previous eight matches.
Zamalek vs Aswan pick: Over 2.5 goals
