Eyeing their first league crown in six years, Zamalek could seal the deal a game before the final match in the season through a win on Tuesday when they face the already relegated El Entag El Harby.
The Whites secured a precious 2-1 win over Ceramica Cleopatra on Friday to maintain a four-point lead on second place Ahly and edge closer to clinching the Egyptian Premier League title for the first time since 2015.
The Cairo giants will enter Tuesday's match at full strength especially as tireless left back Abdallah Gomaa has been included in the squad after recovering from knee injury.
If Zamalek stumbles against El Entag, securing the title will be postponed till the final game of the season against NBE Club on Friday.
Zamalek's French coach Patrice Carteron has reportedly asked his players to be fully concentrate in Tuesday's match to clinch the league trophy, stressing that they should not underestimate their opponent.
On the other side, El Entag El Harby will be playing without pressures as the team has been officially relegated to second division.
