Live : Zamalek vs Sanga Balende | CAF Confederation Cup

Match K.O. at 21:00 Cairo local time
Venue: Petro Sport Stadium

Zamalek will be desperate to avoid any taints an on otherwise impressive run this season while Ahly will doggedly try to keep a slender lead intact as both eye a place in the African Confederation Cup group stage on Sunday.

Zamalek, who look overwhelming favourites to win their first Premier League title since 2004, slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat away to DR Congo’s Sanga Balende after complaining of “blatant refereeing errors”.

The first leg was not televised but a short video released by Zamalek fans on social media showed a goal for striker Bassem Morsi incorrectly disallowed for offside.

“The players told [coach] Jesualdo Ferreira that they are determined to overturn the deficit and qualify for the last eight,” Zamalek said on their official website.

“The players are eager to continue their fine run in domestic and continental competitions.”

Zamalek have not been defeated in nine matches under Portuguese boss Ferreira, winning eight before that run was ended with a 1-1 draw against Gouna in the Premier League last week.

The White Knights, who are making their first Confederation Cup appearance since the competition’s new format was introduced in 2004, will have a fully-fit squad against Sanga Balende.
