Zamalek are odds-on to beat Fayoum at the weekend while Ahli are expected to see off lower division Nabaroh as a last 16 derby clash is on the cards.

However, Yasser reflected that he and his teammates only think about the challenge ahead.

"We take every game as it comes," said the Qatari, who left Ahli for Zamalek in the winter break.

"What's more important now is getting past Fayoum, not Ahli."
