Zamalek faces a crucial encounter against Nkana in the first leg of the CAF Champions League’s round of 16. Despite being considered favorites, Zamalek has been struggling to find form recently, particularly in the domestic league.
Under the leadership of Ahmad Hossam “Mido,” Zamalek has shown signs of improvement but still lacks consistency in their performances. Mido acknowledges that the team has been missing numerous scoring opportunities, leading to dropped points in crucial matches.
With the upcoming fixture against Nkana, Mido emphasizes the need for Zamalek to elevate their game, especially in attack. Securing a positive result in the away leg in Lusaka will be essential to set themselves up for success in the return leg in Cairo.
Zamalek’s strength lies in their solid defensive unit, which has been reliable throughout the season. Despite the challenges, Zamalek has a favorable record against Nkana in previous encounters, having secured victories in five out of ten matches, with three draws and two defeats.
As they prepare for the clash against Nkana, Zamalek will aim to capitalize on their defensive solidity while improving their attacking efficiency to secure a favorable outcome in the Champions League tie.
