Venue: Cairo International Stadium
Referee: Amin Omar

Zamalek will be looking to maintain their good form after their recent revival when they face rivals Arab Contractors in the Egyptian Premiere League on Tuesday.

The Whites grabbed a 2-0 victory over Ittihad of Alexandria to end a three-match win-less run.

The much-needed win, which came after two losses and a draw, granted Montenegrin coach Nebojsa Jovovic a reprieve after the club had initially said he would leave.

Backed by the morale boost from the triumph against Ittihad, Jovovic will be eyeing a second successive league victory on Tuesday to keep his job safe.

Zamalek currently lie fifth on the league table with 22 points, 12 behind leaders Ismaily, who played two matches more. Arab Contractors lie seventh with the same number of points, but Zamalek have a better goal difference.

Arab Contractors secured a 2-0 victory over Petrojet in their last league match. The victory came after two defeats against Smouha and Wadi Degla respectively.

In Tuesday’s match, Zamalek will be missing winger Abdallah Goma , defender Mahmoud Alaa and playmaker Ayman Hefny due to various injuries. Striker Bassem Morsi is doubtful for the game as he suffers a muscular strain.
