National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Zamalek or Haras El Hodood that keep their silverware dream alive.
The hosts Zamalek saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the CAF Champions League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Teungueth, was also a home game. The away team is better rested.
Zamalek form and stats
Last season their Egypt Cup adventure ended in the semi-finals.Zamalek have been very solid at home in the Premier League so far, with 18 points collected from 6 matches (6-0-0). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table. In general it's been a long time since Zamalek tasted defeat here, as they have taken at least one point from their last 28 home games in the league.
Zamalek are confident in defense, having played 207 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Zamalek as they have a new game in only four days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Al Ahly are visiting.

It's the second away game in a row for Haras El Hodood, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus El Gounah in the Premier League last time out. A loss against Zamalek was the result prior to that, in a Premier League home game.
Toni Gomes came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against El Gounah last time out, making the manager M. Halim feel like a tactical genius.
