Zamalek will be looking to make amends for their recent Egyptian league home defeat by Ismaily when they resume their CAF Champions League campaign against Algeria’s MO Bejaia in the competition’s last-16 on Saturday.

Having fallen to a 1-0 loss to rivals Ismaily, a reverse that widened the gap with league leaders and arch-rivals Ahly to nine points, Egyptian champions Zamalek will now be aiming to get back on track this time in Africa.

But their mission will not easy, given that their opponents managed to overcome Tunisia’s Club Africain 2-1 on aggregate in the first round.

Domestically, Algerian Cup holders MO Bejaia are currently second in the league table behind leaders USM Alger – who are 13 points clear on top.

Even so, Zamalek chairman Mortada Mansour believes his side are capable of settling the tie in Cairo before flying to MO Bejaia 10 days later.

Mostafa Fathi OUT

Zamalek will still be missing skillful winger Mostafa Fathi, who remains out with an abdominal injury sustained during the Egypt training camp.

Five-time African champions Zamalek, who qualified for the round of 16 after beating Cameroon’s Union Douala 3-0 on aggregate, will be eyeing their first continental trophy since 2002.
