Zamalek is poised to win at home against Stellenbosch and move to the semi-final, leveraging their strong home track record, with 15 wins in the last 19 matches. After a 0-0 draw in the first leg, Zamalek relies on their solid defense and the return of key player Mahmoud Bentayg. Stellenbosch, with only one win in five fixtures, faces a challenging trip to Cairo. They must contend without injured forward Lehlohonolo Mojela. Zamalek's tactical advantage and team form stand out in this CAF Confederations Cup face-off.

Zamalek vs Stellenbosch Predictions


The hosts are tipped to win at home and reach the semi-final. The stats point to a clean sheet and a victory for Zamalek. 

  • Zamalek have won 15 of their last 19 home matches (4 draws)(CAF Confederations Cup).
  • Zamalek have kept 7 clean sheets in their last 10 home matches (CAF Confederations Cup).
  • Stellenbosch have lost 2 of their last 3 away matches (CAF Confederations Cup).

Head to Head


These sides met for the first time last week. 

It finished in a 0-0 draw.

Zamalek Form & Team News


Zamalek’s last 13 matches have seen just one defeat. Their last five fixtures have yielded just one win. 

They thrashed title rivals Al Ahly 3-0 before a 4-2 cup win vs Smouha. A 1-1 draw draw against El Gouna and a 2-1 loss at Petrojet followed. 

Before the first leg, they beat Ceramica Cleopatra 2-1 in the Egyptian Cup semi-final. Last week’s first leg vs Stellenbosch ended in a 0-0 draw in Cape Town. 

Left back Mahmoud Bentayg returns to the XI after missing the first leg due to visa problems. 

Coach Jose Peseiro is without two injured players in midfielder Ahmed Hamdi and centre back Hamza Mathlouthi. Mahmoud Abdelrazek Shikabala is a major doubt.

Zamalek Predicted Lineup


Sobhi; Gaber, Moussaddaq, El Wensh, Abdelmaguid, Bentayg; Dunga, Shehata, Maher; Zizo, Jaziri.

Stellenbosch Form & Team News


Stellies have just one win in their last five fixtures. They drew the first leg a week ago and face a daunting trip to Cairo for this one. 

Two late goals conceded led to a Nedbank Cup exit as they lost 3-1 to Kaizer Chiefs. A fine 0-0 draw with ten men followed at home to Orlando Pirates before winning 2-1 at Sekhukhune United

Prior to the first leg, they lost 1-0 at Magesi despite having 62% possession. Last week’s match vs Zamalek ended 0-0 as both sides managed a paltry two shots on target.

Centre forward Lehlohonolo Mojela is out injured. Ashley Cupido is hoping to start up front but it could be a false nine instead. 

Stellenbosch have no suspensions and a full strength squad otherwise. 

Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup


Stephens; Kazie, Maloisane, Toure, Basadien; Nduli, Khiba, Jabaar; De Jong; Titus, Nku.

Verdict

I'm backing a home win with a clean sheet.
