Last season was another phenomenal year for Al Ahly, as they won the Egyptian Premier League and CAF Champions League titles. The most recognized Egyptian club has goals to repeat the success from the previous season.
Al Ahly opened the 2024/25 season with a 6-0 win on aggregate score against Gor Mahia in the CAF Champions League qualifications. Marcel Koller's team dominated against the Kenyan opponent and showed that they were ready for another great season.
Last season was successful for Zamalek, too. They won the CAF Confederation Cup, while Zamelek finished third in the Egyptian Premier League. They are one of the rare teams that could compete with Al-Ahly in the national league.
In the previous weeks, Zamalek played in two legs of CAF Confederation Cup matches against Police FC. They won 3-1 on aggregate score against the Kenyan opponent and won their second title in the second most important competition in Africa.
Al Ahly vs Zamalek pick: Al Ahly to win
Al Ahly won five of the last six matches against Zamalek, including one awarded win. Marcel Koller is surely the best team in Africa, and they should win on Friday at a neutral venue in Riyadh.

Al Ahly team news
Al Ahly could be weaker than the previous season as a few important players left the team this summer, including Mohamed Abdelmonem, who signed for Nice. Abdelmonem's replacement should be Achraf Dari, who came for 1.8 million euros from Brest. Al Ahly also signed Omar El Saaiy, who came from Ismaily, while Yousef Aymen and Yahia Attiyat Allah were loaned from Al Duhail and Sochi.
