Tactical Analysis for 17:00 Tomorrow at Amahoro

The 17:00 kickoff at Amahoro with artificial turf and altitude is trap. Zamalek must not press high first 20 minutes. Ahmed Fatouh or Esho will stay back to support El Wensh vs Mbaoma pace. Mohamed Shehata will be man marking for APR number 10. The key is Abdallah El Said - His experience at 17:00 in Africa - 12 CAF assists - Will find spaces behind APR midfield. Set pieces: Zamalek has El Wensh 1.88m and Mohamed Ismail 1.86m dangerous from El Said corners at 17:00. APR conceded 3 goals from corners in last round. If Zamalek scores first at 17:00, APR must open and Zamalek will score second via Banza and Dabbagh counters. If APR scores first, game becomes difficult with crowd pressure.

Prediction - Zamalek vs APR FC at 17:00 Tomorrow

Amahoro Stadium will have 30,000 APR military fans at 17:00 creating intense atmosphere. But Zamalek has quality difference. Prediction: APR FC 0-2 Zamalek - Goals: Odai Dabbagh (from El Said assist) and Chico Banza (counter attack) at 17:00. Man of the Match: Abdallah El Said for 2 assists. Zamalek puts one foot in group stage before return leg in Cairo at Cairo International Stadium.
