Zamalek is preparing for a strong match against USM Alger next Saturday evening, in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup final, amid anticipation regarding the Brazilian Juan Bezerra's participation in the match.

Zamalek faces the possibility of Bezera's absence from the starting lineup after he sustained an injury during the match against Smouha in the league. He was forced to leave the game after assisting the only goal of the match for striker Adi Al-Dabbagh.

Amid doubts about the readiness of the Brazilian player, the Zamalek coaching staff may find their solutions in the Angolan Chico Banza, who is known for his ability to exploit spaces and move quickly behind defensive lines.

The match between USM Alger in Algeria is expected to see large spaces behind the Algerian team's defense, especially with the home team's anticipated focus on offensive pressure and taking advantage of the home ground and crowd. This could provide Banzer with an ideal opportunity to showcase his attacking abilities.

Zamalek is expected to rely on quick transitions and counterattacks during the match, which enhances the chances of Banza participating in the front line due to his speed and ability to break into open spaces.

This proposition is based on what the Angolan player delivered during the match against Pyramids in the league, when he came on as a substitute and successfully exploited the spaces, before dribbling past the opposing team's defender and setting up the winning goal for Juan Bezera, leading Zamalek to secure three valuable points.

Zamalek may also benefit from relying on the Tunisian Seif Jaziri, who is faster compared to Nasser Mansi, alongside Addi Dabbagh, who is capable of moving into the depth and entering the penalty area when the team has possession of the ball.

The match between Zamalek and USM Alger is scheduled to take place next Saturday evening at 10:00 PM Cairo time, at the July 5, 1962 Stadium.
