AL Ahly SC (EGY) - Zamalek SC: Form Analysis
The 2023-24 season turned out to be another impressive one for Al Ahly, as they wrapped up the Egyptian Premier League with five games to spare, securing their 44th domestic title six points clear of their closest challenger Pyramids.
In addition, the Red Devils won the Egyptian Super Cup against Modern Future, secured the Champions League with an unbeaten record, and claimed third place in the FIFA Club World Cup, beating Urawa Reds 4-2 after extra time.
This season has also begun well for the Egyptian champions, having got through the second preliminary round of the Champions League with a whopping 6-0 aggregate over Kenyan league champions Gor Mahia last week.
Al Ahly are now set to face Zamalek, who they have beaten in five of their last six encounters!
Meanwhile, Zamalek had a fantastic Confederation Cup last term, posting the best record of any team during the group stage, winning five and drawing just one of their six matches.
However, barring their Confederation Cup victory, the 2023-24 season was fairly underwhelming for the Royal Club, having finished the league campaign a massive 29 points off the champions and in third place for a second consecutive season.
Still, despite entering this contest as the clear underdogs, the White Knights will be able to gain some confidence from the fact that they did beat this opponent 2-1 in April in a home league game last season.

AL Ahly SC (EGY) & Zamalek SC Squad Analysis
Al Ahly full-back Karim Fouad ruptured his ACL against Smouha toward the end of last season and has been ruled out for the foreseeable future as he undergoes treatment.
That may leave the Red Devils a little short-handed at left-back for this match, as it was Fouad that replaced Ali Maaloul, who was already sidelined with an ACL injury. New signing Yahia Attiyat Allah could therefore be given the nod to start this week.
Achraf Dari, Ramy Rabia and Youssef Ayman all picked up knocks on international duty and are flagged as doubts!
Zamalek, on the other hand, will be without a minimum of three players for this blockbuster matchup, with Mahmoud El Wensh, Mohamed Abdelshafi and Ahmed Hamdi all ruled out due to cruciate ligament tears.
Nabil Dunga sustained an injury in training on Monday in preparation for this match and will have to undergo a special recovery program to have a chance to feature on Friday.
