On Friday Dec 16th, in week 7, National Bank of Egypt plays host to Zamalek in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. In their last match, National Bank of Egypt recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Al Masry. Al Masry had 7 on net, and National Bank of Egypt had 2, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 4th placed Zamalek, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Pyramids FC. Mostafa Shalaby scored the first goal for Zamalek in the 4th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Pyramids FC was frustrated by Zamalek’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Zamalek ended the match with the shutout victory. Zamalek should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Zamalek won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Both Ahmed Fattoh and Emam Ashour have been the hottest scorers for Zamalek in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals. National Bank of Egypt’s most prolific scorer has been Mohamed Helal. The midfielder has netted 2 goals over the last five matches.
