Week 8 brings us a match on Dec 20th where Haras El Hodood and Zamalek will play a match in Cairo in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. In their last match, 2nd placed Zamalek, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against National Bank of Egypt. Youssef Osama Nabih scored the first goal for Zamalek in the %Minute minute of the %HalfNumber half’s stoppage time, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, National Bank of Egypt couldn’t muster any offence and Zamalek ran away with the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Zamalek should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, 17th placed Haras El Hodood, recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Al Masry. Neither Haras El Hodood nor Al Masry could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 10 and 7 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Both Emam Ashour and Ahmed Sayed have been the hottest scorers for Zamalek in the last five each having scored 2 goals.
