ZED

WLWDW

ZED have been in improving form, since their narrow 2-1 defeat on the road to National Bank Egypt. Since that result, their past three outings has seen two victories either side of a 2-2 draw with El Gouna. At home in the Cairo region, their corporate structure and growing fanbase provides a platform that has been increasingly effective in the Championship Round's latter stages. The three-game unbeaten run gives them the needed confidence and momentum to approach this encounter against a Ghazl side without the same urgency.

Ghazl El Mahallah

Ghazl, the textile workers' club from the Delta city, have had a difficult recent stretch, failing to pick up a winning result in their past four Championship Round outings. Their form heading into this Wednesday fixture gives them very little confidence and away at ZED, against a side in back-to-back wins, their prospects of arresting the slide are challenging. The Egyptian Championship Round's competitive nature has exposed limitations in a squad that is mid-table in quality and has been unable to sustain results against the better Championship Round sides.
