Struggling El Geish will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Zamalek in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only four days ago.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
