Zamalek takes the Arab road from the door of the Union in search of a new title

The Zamalek club will continue its Arab tour in the Zayed Cup for champions clubs against the Union of Alexandria citizen during the final leg of the championship.

Zamalek had managed to win the first leg in Alexandria with a 1-0 lead to advance to the quarter-finals. A draw or a win in the second leg was necessary to reach the quarter-finals.

The white team is in a state of excellent morale after winning 6 consecutive victories in the Egyptian Premier League, with a 6-point lead over its closest rivals.

Al-Obeid is looking to add a new title to its record, in addition to the substantial financial reward that the Zayed Club Champions Cup ($ 6 million) will receive from more than 100 million Egyptian pounds.

With the UEFA team having nothing to lose, it is necessary to score a goal for a draw in the first leg result, then look for the second goal or wait for the penalty shootout.

The winner of the match against Zamalek and Al Ittihad will be the second Egyptian player in the tournament with Ismaili, who risks losing the final prize after a 1-1 draw against Raja Morocco before the second leg.

Al-Ahly was the first Egyptian club to leave the tournament after a draw (1-1) against Al Wasl (3-3). He missed the tournament due to new goals scored at home.

Zamalek is also looking for a moral boost to finish the 13th Egyptian league title and good preparation for the beginning of his African career at Confederation in mid-December.
