Look at this interesting match in the Premier League. Zamalek is in the 2nd position from featuring in two fixtures. They welcome Al Ahly who are placed 1st from two matches.
This is the Cairo Derby, a football match between two of the most successful clubs both in Egypt and Africa. According to Wikipedia, fans of both clubs can be violent when angry. Historically there has been numerous fights, injuries and deaths when these teams from the capital of Egypt meet in front of a full stadium and an estimated domestic TV audience of 50 million.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This is a local fight, usually meaning extra motivation and importance.
