Welcome to the 2022/2023 edition of the CAF Champions League, where Zamalek SC will host Algerian giant CR Belouizdad at the Cairo International Stadium on Friday. The host team head into this encounter with a win in the last eight games, while the guests are yet to play any competitive match since last year December.

Zamalek (Egypt)

After their group-stage exit last season, the five-time CAF Champions League winner will hope for a better outing this year. The White Knights failed to make it out of the group following their third-place finish. Zamalek didn’t win a game, sharing the spoils four times while losing twice.

This season, Jesualdo Ferreira's men are going through difficult times in league with twenty-nine points from a possible fifty-one. They sit uncomfortably in the fourth spot with nine points behind league leaders Al Ahly who have two outstanding games.

Ferreira aims to help the team win in their opening game this term as the White Knights continue to chase their first Champions League title in 20 years.

CR Belouizdad (Algeria)

The three-time quarter-finalists in the competition are yet to win the title. They were eliminated by the champions in the quarter-finals last season.

CR Belouizdad were Algerian champions last season with seventy points in thirty-four games. They did fail to impress in the CAF tournament last season, but hopefully, they will go far this season.

They have strengthened their squad aggressively this season and hope to secure both the domestic league and the CAF championship.

CR Belouizdad have had a great start in the Algerian Ligue One this season, winning eleven while sharing the spoils four times. They remain unbeaten with eight points ahead of second-placed CS Constantine.

Expert Betting Tips

Zamalek have not won their opening game in the last two seasons; they opened the group stage with a goalless draw at home against Algerian side MC Alger in 2021. In 2022, they commenced the group stage with a 2-2 stalemate against Petro Atletico of Angola in Cairo. They head here with one victory over the last seven matches. CR Belouizdad have been excellent this season and are unbeaten in their last fifteen games in the league. However, they have not played in a long time, which might slightly affect their performance here. It’s tough for a visiting side to beat a home side, but the home team has been terrible in recent games. We expect both sides to get a goal each for 2.04.

Zamalek are not strong defensively, so we don’t expect a cagey game; bet on a home win or draw and BTTS for 2.65.

I think both sides will settle for a share of the spoils here for 3.13.

Good luck!
