Zamalek seek to replicate their previous win over Pharco FC, which took place two weeks ago in a delayed game in Cairo. During that match, winger Mostafa Shalabi and veteran midfielder Abdallah El-Saed scored the two goals that secured a 2-0 victory for the White Knights.

Following their recent 4-2 triumph against Ceramica Cleopatra, Zamalek aim to maintain their winning rhythm to climb higher in the league standings.

Currently, they occupy the eighth position with 37 points from 22 games.

Similar to their previous match against Ceramica Cleopatra, Zamalek will be without their natural striker as Tunisian forward Seif Jaziri is still recovering from a muscle injury.

Additionally, Samson Akinyoola and Nasser Mansi have been excluded from the squad.

On the other hand, Pharco FC finds themselves in a precarious situation, sitting just above the relegation zone in 15th place.

They are desperate to achieve a positive result that could help them escape the danger of relegation.

The club faced a challenging schedule over the past three weeks, playing against both Ahly and Zamalek.

They suffered 2-1 defeats in both matches against Ahly and a 2-0 loss against Zamalek.
