Zamalek assistant coach Osama Nabih played down concerns over the weather conditions in Congo as the Whites prepare for their next Champions League game at Leopards in mid-day Ramadan. After holding defending champions Ahli to a 1-1 draw in a tough fixture in Gouna, Zamalek will have to play their second game during fasting hours in Loubomo as well. However, Zamalek coach Nabih believes it will not be as harsh as Hurghada's daylight heat. "The weather conditions in Congo won't be as harsh as it was in Gouna," the former Zamalek forward told the club's website. "The temperature in Congo would not exceed 23°C; players aren't likely to suffer the heat they endured during our game against Ahli at Gouna." Despite Nabih's optimism, weather forecasts indicate that Zamalek will clash against Leopards at a 29 Celsius temperature and 66% humidity.
