On Saturday Apr 9th, in week 13, Misr Lel Makasa hosts Zamalek in a clash of the Premier League in the anticipated Cairo derby. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, Misr Lel Makasa recorded a 0-1 loss against National Bank of Egypt. Ahmed Yasser struck first for National Bank of Egypt in the 62nd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Misr Lel Makasa couldn’t manage to score, and National Bank of Egypt took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while in their last match, Zamalek recorded a 2-1 win against El Gounah. Emam Ashour scored the first goal for Zamalek in the 17th minute, then Ahmed Sayed added another in the 18th minute. Zamalek looks to continue their winning ways, having won 7 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Zamalek won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Zamalek is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Achraf Bencharki and Sayed each having 3 goals in their last 5. Misr Lel Makasa is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Rasheed Ahmed and Mahmoud Fahmi each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
