It's only the second fixture in the Premier League for these sides. And fresh optimism here at Cairo International Stadium as Zamalek greet Al Mokawloon. Check out this preview!

This is a game between neighbours, usually meaning added pressure and importance.

Not much time to rest for the hosts, as they had a Premier League fixture only four days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Pyramids FC.

The Zamalek manager Arbeláez and his gang return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Pyramids FC (placed 8th). Midfield player Donga got a match rating of 7.65 in that game, the max score being 10. Donga scored one goal.

Before that match, a defeat in the away fixture against Arta / SIHD in the CAF Confederations Cup.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the CAF Confederations Cup game versus Arta / SIHD in only four days. This game is also played here at Cairo International Stadium.

Al Mokawloon form and stats

Let's have a look at how Al Mokawloon performed last season in the League Cup: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 17 draws and 8 defeats. In total they scored 35 and conceded {33 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 7 and lost 5 with 21/18 goals scored/conceded.

Al Mokawloon might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Baladiyyat Al Mehalla proved too strong as Al Mokawloon slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Arab Contractors Stadium. Midfield player Gebna was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.14/10. Gebna hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Al Ahly.

Head 2 Head
