AS Otohô - Stellenbosch: match preview
AS Otohô represent the Republic of the Congo, but have played only one domestic match. In the CAF Confederation Cup, the team is currently in the playoff zone, although the battle for qualification will not be easy. They lost in the first and third rounds but secured victories in the second and fourth rounds. As a result, AS Otohô have six points after four matches and sit in second place. The gap to third and fourth place is just two points.
Stellenbosch compete in South Africa and currently sit 12th in the Premier League standings. After 15 matches, they have collected 15 points and are now 15 points behind the top three. Their results have been inconsistent, but in their most recent match they defeated Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 in the second round of the South African Cup. In the CAF Confederation Cup, Stellenbosch have lost their last two matches and have four points after four rounds. They are in fourth place, but only two points off the playoff positions, meaning the situation is still very much alive.
Probable line-ups
- AS Otohô: Ndzila, Ondongo, Bissiki, Moussounda, Ondongo, Mvondo, Etou, Cisse, Makiese, Bidimbou, Cissé

Prediction
This is a crucial match for both teams as they battle for a place in the CAF Confederation Cup playoffs. I suggest a bet on both teams to score.
