Belouizdad vs Zamalek SC Prediction & Betting Tips - CAF Champions League

Prediction published on 17/03/2023, 09:39  by Daniel Ngulu in CAF Champions League Predictions

A fiery North African affair is on the cards as Algeria’s Belouizdad faces off with Egyptian giants Zamalek on Match Day 5 of the CAF Champions League. Hosts Belouizdad go into this game placed second in Group D with six points, two above third placed Zamalek. This is a make-or-break game for Zamalek, whereas Belouizdad can do with a draw. Belouizdad’s last outing ended in a 1-0 win over Al Merreikh in this group, their second straight win. They earlier beat Chelghoum Laid by the same margin, in the Algerian league. Each of their last four matches have produced under 1.5 goals and whenever there has been a winner in their last five matches, it has been by a one-goal margin.

Zamalek are coming into this game on the back of a loss to ENPPI in their domestic league. They failed to build on their 3-1 win over ES Tunis in their last Champions League game. A loss in this game would end their hopes of gracing the knockout stages of this competition. The Egyptians have been poor in their recent matches, managing just one win in their last five matches. They’ve failed to score in four of their last five matches but have managed two clean sheets in that run. Their away run is not the best either, coming into this game with one win in their last five and also failing to score in four of five. The visitors have conceded two or more goals in two of their last five away games.
