The first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup final sees USM Alger and Zamalek clash at Stade du 5 Juillet 1962. This is the third time these two sides cross paths, with their last meeting being a 2-0 home win for the home team in the CAF Champions League group stages in June 2017. The Algerian can replicate a similar outcome and win, which is our prediction for this match.
USM Alger are no strangers at this stage of the tournament. The last time they reached the CAF Confederation Cup final was in 2023, where they were crowned champions. This marks their second appearance in the final.
USMA are competing in this stage thanks to their impressive performances both in the group and knockout stages. They topped Group A with a one-point lead.
They cruised past DR Congo's Maniema in the quarter-final on away goals, and it was the same case with Safi in the semi-final after a 1-1 aggregate score.
Zamalek come into this match off the back of a 1-0 away win against Smouha in the Premier League, halting a two-match winless run.
The White Knight did not need the away goal rule to reach this stage. Instead, they beat Otoho d'Oyo 3-2 on aggregate in the quarter-final before edging CR Belouizdad 1-0 in the semi-final. This marks their third appearance in the CAF Confederation final.

Our USM Alger vs Zamalek SC Prediction
USM Alger may not be at their home stadium, but they are very much in familiar territory. This should give them an added boost to secure a first-leg advantage against Zamalek. They have faced this opponent twice before and have yet to lose a game (W1, D1).
Zamalek have struggled on the road lately in the CAF Confederation Cup. The visitors have recorded just one win from three games. Their record against Algerian opposition has also done little to inspire confidence, with just one win in their last four matches. Our USM Alger vs Zamalek prediction: USM Alger wins.
