Zamalek Form & Team News

Zamalek’s last 13 matches have seen just one defeat. Their last five fixtures have yielded just one win.

They thrashed title rivals Al Ahly 3-0 before a 4-2 cup win vs Smouha. A 1-1 draw draw against El Gouna and a 2-1 loss at Petrojet followed.

Before the first leg, they beat Ceramica Cleopatra 2-1 in the Egyptian Cup semi-final. Last week’s first leg vs Stellenbosch ended in a 0-0 draw in Cape Town.

Left back Mahmoud Bentayg returns to the XI after missing the first leg due to visa problems.

Coach Jose Peseiro is without two injured players in midfielder Ahmed Hamdi and centre back Hamza Mathlouthi. Mahmoud Abdelrazek Shikabala is a major doubt.

Stellenbosch Form & Team News

Stellies have just one win in their last five fixtures. They drew the first leg a week ago and face a daunting trip to Cairo for this one.

Two late goals conceded led to a Nedbank Cup exit as they lost 3-1 to Kaizer Chiefs. A fine 0-0 draw with ten men followed at home to Orlando Pirates before winning 2-1 at Sekhukhune United

Prior to the first leg, they lost 1-0 at Magesi despite having 62% possession. Last week’s match vs Zamalek ended 0-0 as both sides managed a paltry two shots on target.

Centre forward Lehlohonolo Mojela is out injured. Ashley Cupido is hoping to start up front but it could be a false nine instead.

Stellenbosch have no suspensions and a full strength squad otherwise.

Verdict

Zamalek v Stellenbosch

I'm backing a home win with a clean sheet.
