Zamalek vs PortPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The preliminary round offers no league table, so the picture has to be built on recent outings. Zamalek SC arrive on a strongly positive run: a 2-1 win away to Port in the first leg of this tie, before that a 2-1 at home to Petrojet, a 3-0 at National Bank of Egypt, a goalless draw with Al Ittihad and a 1-0 over Ceramica Cleopatra. Four wins and a draw, with a clean sheet in three of those five matches. Port, by contrast, have lost their three most recent games, all by the same 1-2 scoreline: the home meeting with Zamalek SC and two encounters with KMKM, one away and one at home. They find the net regularly enough but concede just as often. The only previous meeting is that fixture of 4 September 2026, played at Port and won 2-1 by Zamalek SC. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
