The teams that will qualify for the semifinals of the CAF Confederation Cup will be determined today.
In the first leg, Egypt’s strong side Zamalek and South Africa’s in-form team Stellenbosch played to a 0-0 draw. Today’s return leg will be held at Zamalek’s home ground. Having secured a draw in the away match, Zamalek will advance to the next round with any victory.
Another quarter-final clash features two Algerian teams: CS Constantine and USM Alger. Their first match ended in a 1-1 draw. USM Alger will be without Salim Boukhenchouche, who received a red card in the first leg and is suspended for this match. Both teams are underperforming in the league, which makes this game crucial for their seasons.
In another match, Tanzanian side Simba will host Egypt’s Al Masry, having lost the first leg 2-0 away. While Al Masry clearly holds the advantage, football is always full of surprises.
In the day’s final match, Moroccan league leaders RS Berkane will face Ivorian club ASEC Mimosas. Berkane won the first leg 1-0 away, and with their strong current form, they are expected to come out on top once again.
