Match K.O at 17:00 Cairo local time | 10:00 ET Canada-USA
Venue: Petrosport Stadium
Referee: Mohamed El-Sabbahy
Match Preview:
Zamalek will be hoping to preserve their one-point lead at the top of the Egyptian Premier League before the anticipated Cairo derby when they host Smouha on Sunday.
The defending champions have won four straight league games since the return of coach Mido for a second spell following the sacking of Brazilian Marcos Paqueta and will be keen to continue the winning run before meeting arch rivals Ahly on 9 February.
Ahly moved back to the top with a narrow 1-0 win at Ittihad of Alexandria on Saturday but Zamalek will restore their one-point advantage if they overcome Smouha, who caused a huge upset by crushing Ahly 3-0 earlier this season.
Although Zamalek have not dropped any points under Mido so far, the rookie coach was still criticised by the team’s demanding supporters, who are unhappy that the team are not producing any entertaining football despite the embarrassment of riches upfront.
Three out of the four wins recorded under Mido came with a slender 1-0 scoreline, which included two stunning strikes against ENPPI and Masry.
