LIVE: EL Gouna v El Zamalek | Egyptian League

21:00 Cairo local time | 13:00 ET Canada-USA

Venue: Khaled Bichara Stadium

Leaders Zamalek will be without coach Patrice Carteron and several key players when they meet Gouna in the Egyptian Premier League on Sunday as they seek to continue their winning run and extend their lead on top.

Zamalek won their past three games following their 1-1 Cairo derby draw with Ahly last month, a run which included two last-gasp victories over Talae El-Geish and Masry.

With Ahly not in action due to their African Champions League commitments, Zamalek have opened up a 13-point lead on top.

However, they are aware they can hardly afford to drop any points as the season approaches its crucial stage, given that Ahly still have five games in hand. Should the Red Devils won their rescheduled matches, they will overtake Zamalek with a two-point lead.

Zamalek are likely to face a stiff test against Gouna due to their growing list of absentees.

On top of the list is their French coach Patrice Carteron, who was given a two-match touchline ban for remonstrating with the referee during Zamalek’s 1-0 victory over Ismaily in the Egypt Cup round of 16 on Thursday.

Lineups:

Zamalek: Mohamed Awad – Ahmed Eid, Mohamed Abdel-Ghani, Mahmoud “El Wensh” Hamdi, Ahmed Aboul Fotouh – Emam Ashour, Mohamed Ashraf – Mahmoud “Shikabala” Abdel-Razek, Youssef “Obama” Ibrahim, Ahmed “Zizo” El Sayed – Seifeddin Jaziri
