Zamalek will be eyeing their 11th successive Egyptian Premier victory when they play Petrojet today.
The success-starved Cairo side, who are yearning to end a five-year title drought, have already set a club record for the best league start when they beat Dakhleya 2-1 last month for their 10th straight victory.
A win over Petrojet will help them eclipse another club record for the longest winning run in a single season, which they set in the 1987-88 season. Zamalek’s last defeat in all competitions was in September last year when they lost 2-1 to TP Mazembe in the African Champions League.
The White Knights lead Group B of the league’s new format with a maximum 30 points from 10 matches, six ahead of nearest challengers Ismaily who played two games more. Petrojet lie a distant fifth on 13 points.
