The former Algerian star, Djamel Benlamri, spoke about the second leg of the Confederation Cup final between Zamalek and USM Alger, emphasizing that the match will be challenging for both teams.

Jamal Belamri said during his statements on "ON Sports" channel: "Emotionally, I hope USM Alger wins the Confederation Cup, but on paper, the match is still difficult and undecided, despite the Algerian team's advantage after winning the first leg 1-0."

He added: "Zamalek players are under positive pressure because the match is on their home ground and among their fans. I expect the White players to initiate an attack, while USM Alger will impose a defensive block, which is something the Algerian team excels at when playing away."

He continued: "The match will be challenging for both teams, as Zamalek has strong strikers who excel at breaking through, while USM Alger's defense will struggle to keep a clean sheet, especially in one-on-one situations."

He continued: "I hope that sportsmanship prevails between Zamalek and USM Alger, as they are brothers and belong to two brotherly countries. We will congratulate the winner in the end, and this is football."
