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.
