Zamalek take on the visitors Al Ahly Tripoli at “Cairo International Stadium” in the matchday six of the CAF Champions League. The game will be played in Cairo on Sunday, July 9th.
With only one round left till the end of the Egyptian Premier League season, Zamalek have secured themselves the bronze medals having taken 66 points with 42-22 goal difference in 33 clashes. It is a step back for the team as it has used to occupy the first-second places in the elite division and performed in the CAF Champions League in recent years, nevertheless, next year it won’t play in the tournament for the strongest teams of Africa. After five gameweeks played in the current the CAF Champions League, the Egyptian side sits on the last place in the Group B with five points taken and 4-6 goal difference without any chances for promotion further. It should be noted that Zamalek have not been beaten at their own turf since the 16th of April across seven encounters in a row recording five triumphs and two draws in them.

Libyan Premier League has not started yet but the country’s champion plays actively in the continent’s most prestigious tournament. Having started the competition in the qualification, Al Ahly Tripoli knocked out Wa All Stars 3:1, 2:0 and FUS Rabat 2:0, 1:3. With only one gameweek left by the end of Group stage, the Libyan team settles on the second position in the Group B with eight points earned and 9-8 goal difference, thus, in case of a draw in the forthcoming battle the side will promote to the Play Offs.
The first-leg game between the rivals in the Group ended with 0:0 draw. The upcoming clash is important for both opponents within the tournament perspectives and the hosting side needs to risk more while the visitors will focus on defense, therefore, I don’t believe that the battle will be spectacular with a numerous goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
