The CAF Confederation Cup is back, and the Zamalek vs ZESCO prediction is on every football fan’s lips ahead of this Group D opener on November 23, 2025. With Zamalek hosting ZESCO United at the Cairo International Stadium, anticipation is sky-high for this head to head, especially among punters looking for smart betting tips. Let’s break down what you need to know before kick-off.
Zamalek, one of Egypt’s most storied clubs, enters this campaign with a point to prove. Interim boss Ahmed Abdel-Raouf has been vocal about the team’s ambition to win every match in the Confederation Cup. Despite a packed fixture list and a few injury headaches, the mood in the White Castle’s camp is positive. Captain Omar Gaber stressed the importance of a strong start at home, and the squad’s experience in high-pressure games could be their secret weapon.
On the other side, ZESCO United’s coach Emmanuel Siwale is relishing the underdog tag. He’s proud of his young squad’s journey back to the group stage for the first time since 2019. ZESCO’s qualification, especially their 5-4 aggregate win over Jwaneng Galaxy, shows they can scrap and score when it matters.
Looking at the head to head, Zamalek and ZESCO have met twice before, with Zamalek holding the edge—one win and one draw, and a 3-1 goal difference in their favor. The Egyptians, with a squad valued at €15.45 million (compared to ZESCO’s €725,000), are clear favorites, especially at home where their record is formidable.
Now, let’s talk numbers. The odds are stacked in Zamalek’s favor: a home win sits at 1.3, a draw at 5.2, and a ZESCO upset at a distant 12.0. Our AI-powered Zamalek vs ZESCO prediction leans heavily towards a home victory, with a trust level of 5.0/10 and odds of 1.3. The 1x2 prediction also points to a Zamalek win, though with a slightly lower trust of 3.8.
While ZESCO United’s youthful enthusiasm and hunger are admirable, the gulf in experience and squad value is hard to ignore. Zamalek’s home advantage, recent form, and continental pedigree make them the smart pick in this Zamalek vs ZESCO prediction. Still, football has a way of humbling even the most confident tipsters—just ask anyone who bet against Zamalek in that Al Ahly draw!
For punters and fans alike, this is a fixture worth watching—and betting on. Keep an eye on the under 2.5 goals market, and if you’re feeling bold, a 2:0 correct score could add some extra spice to your Sunday evening. Whatever happens, Group D is off to an intriguing start.
