In Group A, Al Hilal (9 points) host MC Alger in a match that could secure their dominance or reignite the Algerians’ campaign. Meanwhile, TP Mazembe travel to Young Africans in a survival clash, with both sides desperate for victory.
FAR Rabat is aiming for another victory in Group B in order to keep their hold on the standings. Al Ahly in Group C, who are already on the verge of qualifying, will also want to increase their lead.
Esperance de Tunis, who are leading Group D, will face a challenging match against Pyramids FC, who are eager to reduce the points difference. At the bottom of the group, Sagrada Esperança and Djoliba AC will play each other, both hoping to get their first win and keep their chances alive.
In another match, Stade d’Abidjan from Ivory Coast, also known as the Yéyés, will play against Orlando Pirates in South Africa. Coming off a recent win in their local league, they aim to get their first victory in this competition and start a comeback.
This weekend’s games are very important, as every team is trying hard to stay in the race for the continental title.
