The Pyramids FC & Zamalek managers A. Čačić and P. Carteron are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Premier League league table.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only four days ago.
Pyramids FC form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, Pyramids FC have managed 6 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 11 games.
Happy days for Pyramids FC in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Aswan (placed 15th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting El Entag El Harby in a game that was won 3-0.
Manager A. Čačić felt very clever after Mohamed El Gabbas scored the winning goal against Aswan, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 76th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Mohamed El Gabbas scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.
There will be little rest for Pyramids FC after this match as they are travelling to El Gounah for a Premier League game in only three days.

Impressive finishing from Mahmoud Hamdi El Wensh secured the home win 1-0 against ENPPI in their previous game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Al Mokawloon wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
A new game in only three days for Zamalek, the Premier League home match versus El Geish. Busy days.
