Zamalek team overview
Zamalek added their seventh point of the campaign after delivering a strong display to edge out Modern Sport 2-1 on the road in matchweek three, a result that sees them level on points with Al Masry at the summit of the league standings.
So far, the White Knights have enjoyed an assured and unbeaten start to the campaign across four outings, having set the tone with a dramatic penalty shootout triumph over Pyramids in the Egypt Cup final, and they now look well-equipped to mount a serious challenge for every piece of silverware on offer this term.
Even more encouragingly, Zamalek have displayed impressive defensive organization and a strong sense of stability from the start of the season, letting in only one goal across their first three league games, with that lone setback resulting from an unlucky own goal.
The 23-year-old centre-back Ahmed Hossam remains the only absentee for Tuesday’s clash due to a serious ACL injury, but coach Yannick Ferrera will once again rely on his impressive squad that has made a very promising start to the season.

Pharco team overview
Since their promotion to Egypt’s top flight in the 2021-22 season, Pharco have largely avoided serious relegation battles, but early signs this term indicate the club could face a challenging campaign where survival may be far from guaranteed.
Ahmed Khattab’s team started the 2025-26 season optimistically with a scoreless draw against ENPPI, but that momentum quickly faded as they were crushed 4-1 by Al Ahly and then edged out 1-0 by El Gaish in their third outing.
Those results have condemned them to the foot of the Egyptian Premier League table, and with their winless streak stretching back months – their last success coming in early May with a 3-2 triumph over Pyramids – there appears little sign of upward movement.
Senegalese international Babacar Ndiaye was taken off in the 58th minute against Al Ahly with what looked like a serious injury, and his absence in matchday three confirms he remains Pharco’s only sidelined player.

Prediction
Given Zamalek’s clear superiority in both quality and experience, coupled with their usual reliability on home soil, the hosts are strongly fancied to carve out a victory against a Pharco side still searching for stability and consistency in their performances. The visitors have proven themselves to be a stubborn opponent and may well offer a degree of resistance, yet Zamalek’s superior quality and attacking depth are expected to tip the balance in their favour. All things considered, the White Knights will be confident of producing another assured defensive display and adding a fresh clean-sheet victory against a Pharco outfit that has looked toothless of late, failing to find the net in five of their last six outings.
Four Reasons we expect BTTS - NO
- Zamalek are unbeaten from their opening four matches of the new season (W3 D1).
- Zamalek have conceded only one goal across their first three league fixtures.
- Pharco have drawn a blank in all but one of their last six league outings.
- Zamalek have won three of their last four meetings with Pharco without conceding.
