Venue: Alexandria Stadium | Alexandria, Egypt

When Zamalek won the Egypt Cup the past two seasons, they never came across arch foes Ahly. If they are to win a third straight title they might have to dispatch their nemesis this time around.

The Cairo giants, who ended an 11-year wait for an elusive Premier League crown after ending the hegemony of Ahly last season, are eager to complete the double while their rivals are desperate not to end the season without a domestic title.

Although Zamalek managed to win the league in convincing fashion, they still failed to end a Cairo derby jinx after losing 2-0 to Ahly, whom they had not defeated since beating a second string side in 2007.

Smouha face an uphill climb to overcome a powerful Zamalek side that have further bolstered their squad in the summer with the addition of the likes of attacking midfielders Ahmed Hamoudi and Mahmoud Kahraba, with the latter earning plaudits for some superb displays in the Confederation Cup.

The Alexandria-based club made their first appearance in the African Champions League but finished bottom of their group and are highly unlikely to cause an upset against Zamalek.

“The match will be difficult against Smouha, but we are able to reach the final,” said central midfielder Ibrahim Abdel-Khalek, who will face his former club after moving from Smouha to Zamalek in the summer.
