Match preview
APR host Zamalek SC in the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League. APR have a perfect home record in the two matches they have played, scoring three goals without conceding. Zamalek arrive on the back of two wins, scoring six and conceding just one across their recent games, and they have kept a clean sheet at home. Both sides have shown the ability to find the net and to keep opponents out, which suggests an open encounter despite the defensive solidity shown so far.
APR’s only loss came away from home, where they failed to score. Zamalek have scored in every match, including two away goals. With APR playing at home and Zamalek’s away scoring rate of two per game, there is a realistic chance that each team will register a goal.
Given the limited data and the absence of reported injuries, the analysis rests on the recorded form and goal averages. Both teams’ recent clean sheets and scoring records point toward a match where both sides are likely to score, while the total goal tally could exceed the typical 2.5‑goal benchmark.
Key factors
- APR have a 3‑0 home win and have not conceded at home in the data set
- Zamalek have won their last two matches, scoring six goals and conceding only one
- Both teams have kept a clean sheet in their most recent games
- APR have failed to score only in their away loss, while Zamalek have scored in every match

2 published markets
Both sides have demonstrated the ability to score multiple goals in recent matches – APR with a 3‑0 home win and Zamalek with a 2‑1 away win. Their combined scoring averages suggest at least five goals could be on offer, while each has conceded no more than one in their last games. This creates a strong case for the match to finish with three or more goals, supporting the Over 2.5 line. The Over 1.5 line is also likely, but the evidence more clearly backs the higher threshold.
