On the 21st of December, in this week 7 match, Al Mokawloon hosts Zamalek in a clash of the Premier League in the ever popular Cairo derby. In their last match, 14th placed Al Mokawloon, recorded a 1-2 loss against National Bank of Egypt. Osama Ibrahim struck first for National Bank of Egypt in the 58th minute, but Mohamed Samir got the equalizer for Al Mokawloon in the 84th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10, while 3rd placed Zamalek is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Ceramica Cleopatra. Mostafa Fathi struck first for Zamalek in the 40th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Ceramica Cleopatra couldn’t muster any offence and Zamalek ran away with the shutout win. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Zamalek should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Zamalek won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Zamalek is glad to have Sayed in top form. In the last 5 matches the midfielder has scored four goals. Al Mokawloon’s top weapon lately has been Mohamed Samir, who has three goals in the last five matches.
