This season of the Egyptian Premier League brought us some interesting and unexpected results.

Piramyds, which is on a quest for its first title, sovereignly holds the first position in the table with 56 points. Realistically, the only team that can threaten them is the current winner of the continental competition and the record holder with 43 Egyptian championship titles, Al Ahly, which at the moment has 17 points less, but 7 games played less.

Equally interesting is the fight for the second and third positions, which next season bring placement in the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup. As many as 10 teams apply for these two positions. Among those teams are rivals in this match Zamalek and Al Masry.

A cursory look at the table shows that Zamalek currently holds just the 11th position in the table with 31 points won, but that can be misleading because they have played only 18 games so far. There is certainly still a chance for Zamalek to make a breakthrough in the standings and it seems that they caught the momentum in the last game. Zamalek achieved a great victory on Friday in the away game against Ceramica Cleopatra with a score of 2:1. Zamalek was in deficit until the 80th minute of the match, but with two quick goals they managed to save themselves and achieve an important victory.

On the other side is Al Masry, the 2nd placed team with 39 points, but it seems that they are slowly losing pace because they won only two points in the last four matches played. Al Masry played its last league match more than 20 days ago, and then played without goals on the road against Future. Regardless of the last results, if the line were drawn now, this would certainly be a very successful season for this club, whose best finish in the Premier League so far in its history was the third position in the table.

Zamalek vs Al Masry Prediction: ZAMALEK TO WIN

Zamalek paid the price of participation in the continental competition this season with slightly weaker results in the league, but now with the end of their appearance in the Confederation Cup, they will be able to fully focus on the domestic championship. After two consecutive victories, their ambitions grew and the desire to continue that streak. Al Masry is certainly not a naive opponent as the situation in the table shows, but at this moment they may be a desirable opponent. In the last 4 league matches played, this club won only two points with two goals scored, and they were not dominant in the cup match against the lower league team Gomhoriat Shebin, although they won that match with a score of 1:0. Somehow, everything smells of a new victory for Zamalek, and the odds offered by the bookmakers for that pick are quite good.
