The second half of the group stage of the most elite club football competition in Africa begins, and the duel in which most eyes will be focused is the one between Egypt's Zamalek and Esperance from Tunisia. The second most trophy-winning team in the CAF Champions League, Zamalek, left a terrible impression in the opening three rounds, where they collected only two points, which leaves them at the very bottom of the Group D table. Their rival, Esperance from Tunisia, is one step away from securing the knockout phase of this competition, since after the first three rounds they stand at one hundred percent performance - three games, three wins.

Zamalek vs Esperance Tunis Betting Tips: X2

Five-time CAF Champions League champions Zamalek simply embarrassed themselves in this year's 59th edition of the same, as they not only failed to overcome anyone, but had to settle for a miserable two points from the opening three cars, so their placement in the knockout phase is questionable.

Only two points won from Group D is not the only concern for Portuguese strategist Jesualdo Ferreira and his team. Namely, the important clash with the Tunisians comes at a difficult time for The White Knights, as they managed to register only one triumph from the previous six games in all competitions.

And not only that. Out of the previous ten competitive games, they left half of those games with their heads down, not to mention that they failed to find the back of the net in five occasions of the last six games. As things stand, Zamalek will finish the Champions League already in the group stage for the second year in a row.

Apart from the fact that the giant from Egypt is going through the results, they are also facing a financial crisis. This is best witnessed by the data that Zamalek could not register winter reinforcements, so they will be deprived of the services of Mahmoud Shabana, Ahmed Belhadji, as well as center-forward Nasser Mansy.

Esperance, the champions of Tunisia, are shining in full brightness and their mood is at the highest possible level, if you consider that they have only drawn once in the last 10 competitive games, of which they have solved in their favor. Otherwise, Red and Yellow will try to record the seventh consecutive line.

In addition to enjoying top form, Nabil Maaloul's chosen seem unstoppable in the attacking zone, having scored 2+ goals in 8 of the last 10 games. When we add to all that that Esperance has outplayed Zamalek in each of the last four clashes, then it is clear why the Tunisians are closer to victory.
