Prediction published on 07/04/2024, 07:12  by Daniel Ngulu in Caf Confederation Cup Predictions

Zamalek will be hoping to secure passage to the CAF Confederations Cup when they host Modern Future in the quarterfinal return leg. In this clash pitting two Egyptian sides, Zamalek have the advantage following a 2-1 first leg win. Domestically, Zamalek aren’t doing so well, but they have an edge over Modern Future coming here. They came from a goal down to beat Modern Future in the first leg, and here they’ll be out to complete the job. Four wins in their last six matches are enough to give Zamalek the psychological advantage coming into this game. They’ve only lost three of their last 10 matches in all competitions. Their first leg win was their eighth unbeaten outing in the Confederations Cup. In those eight matches, they managed seven wins. Zamalek suffered a 2-0 loss in their last home match, but that was against a far stronger side – Al Ahly. Prior to that, they had registered four straight home wins and will be keen on resuming this run.

Modern Future’s loss at home to Zamalek places them on the back foot coming into this encounter. They haven't really been great in recent matches, and that defeat marked their third straight winless outing. A 5-0 win over Al Hilal in March stands as their only win in the last eight matches. they failed to score in two of their last three matches and it has been even tougher away from home. In their last seven away matches, Modern Future have no win. To make it to the semis, they’ll have to break this bad run. One win only in their last five matches in this competition complicates things further. It doesn’t read any better, Modern Future having lost four of their last six away matches in this competition. In their six meetings with Zamalek in history, Modern Future suffered straight defeats. Ahmed Sayed Zizo has been a real thorn to Modern Future over the years. In their six defeats to Zamalek, Zizo scored six goals.
