ASEC Mimosas
The "Mimosas" have already secured their place in the Champions League playoffs after four rounds. They only failed to defeat Simba away in the first round but had no trouble in subsequent matches against Vidad (1-0) and Jwaneng Galaxy (2-0 and 3-0). Currently, ASEC Mimosas has 10 points and one of the top two spots in the group is already guaranteed for them. Approaching the game against the Tanzanian club, Siaka Traoré's team comes after a home victory in the Ivorian Ligue 1 against Stade Abidjan - 1-0. The only goal for the "Mimosas" came from a penalty in stoppage time of the first half. This victory ended the team's winless streak in the Ivorian Ligue 1, which had lasted for four matches. Currently, Siaka Traoré's team occupies the fourth position in the league table, trailing leader Racing d'Abidjan by four points.
Simba
The Tanzanian club has accumulated half as many points as their opponent in the first four rounds. In the first two matches, the "Lions" played draws at home against ASEC Mimosas (1-1) and away against Jwaneng Galaxy (0-0), but they managed to climb to the second position after a home win against Vidad (2-0) in the third round. Ahead of the match against the group leader, Pablo Franco's team comes after an away victory in the Tanzanian Premier League against JKT Tanzania with a score of 1-0. This victory extended Simba's unbeaten streak in the domestic league to eight matches, five of which were victories.
