On Saturday Dec 25th, Zamalek will play host to Ghazl El Mehalla in a clash of these two closely matched Premier League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which is great football weather. Zamalek sits at 3rd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-1 win against Al Mokawloon. Mostafa Fathi scored the first goal for Zamalek in the 61st minute, then Mohammed Ounajem added another in the 76th minute. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Zamalek should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Ghazl El Mehalla recorded a 1-1 draw against National Bank of Egypt. Yahia Hamed struck first for Ghazl El Mehalla in the 27th minute on a feed from Ahmed Afifi, but Mohamed Helal got the equalizer for National Bank of Egypt in the 6th minute of the first half’s stoppage time earning them at least the one point. Ghazl El Mehalla is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Hamed has been the most prolific scorer on Ghazl El Mehalla in the last 5 matches with two goals. Zamalek is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Sayed and Mostafa Fathi each having 3 goals in their last 5.
