Zamalek’s future in the CAF Champions League will be determined tonight

⚽ Zamalek is on a mission to salvage what it can in the CAF Champions League: Zamalek is hosting ES Tunis tonight at 9pm on matchday 4 of the group stage at the CAF Champions League. The White Knights are currently tailing their group with just one point, while ES Tunis is at the top of the group with full marks (nine points from three matches). Zamalek needs to defeat ES Tunis to ensure it moves past the group stage. At the same time, CR Belouizdad (third in the group with three points) faces off with Sudan’s Al-Merrikh (second in the group with four points).

Zamalek is also going to be facing off against Ronaldo at the Arab Club Champions Cup: Yesterday’s draw for the championship landed Zamalek in the Group C with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr, which is led by Cristiano Ronaldo, according to a statement. The group will also include two more teams that will be determined based on the outcomes of the playoff round. Egypt’s Talae’ea El Gaish is also scheduled to participate in the playoff round, where it will face Libya’s Al Ahly Tripoli.

Meanwhile on home turf: Al Ahly goes head-to-head with Arab Contractors in the Egyptian Premier League at 5pm in a match that was postponed from Gameweek 17. The Red Devils are currently at the top of the league, with a two-point advantage over Pyramids FC and Future, but have played three fewer matches.

Over in the UEFA Champions League: Chelsea v Borussia Dortmund (aggregate 0-1) and Benfica v Club Brugge (aggregate 2-0) both kick off tonight at 10pm.
