On April 9, 2025, the return leg of the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals will be held at the Municipal Stadium in Berkane, featuring a showdown between Berkane and ASEC Mimosas. I don't expect this encounter to be high-scoring.
Preview
In the first leg, both teams played cautiously, avoiding unnecessary risks. The match statistics were nearly identical across several parameters. Each team took 7 shots. However, unlike the hosts, Berkane managed to hit the target three times. One of these shots proved fatal for ASEC's goalkeeper, Folli. The narrow away victory makes the Moroccans clear favorites in the battle for a spot in the next stage of the tournament, providing them with a significant advantage that will be hard to overlook.
Berkane has already officially clinched the Moroccan championship, securing the title with five rounds remaining in the season. This is a historic achievement for the club, as the team has won the national championship for the first time in its history.
In the Ivorian championship, ASEC is in third place after 25 rounds, trailing the leader AF Amadou Diallo by just two points. The title race continues with only five matches left in the season. The team is in excellent form, having won four and drawn one of their last five matches, conceding only one goal in the process.
Probable lineups
- Berkane: Mounir, Manaut, Dayo, Tahif, El Moussaui, Kamara, Labhiri, Khairi, El Morabit, Mehri, Lamlioui
- ASEC Mimosas: Folli, Youssifou, Diakite, Yabre, Zouzou, Brou Coffie, Dosso, Maiga, Issouf, Ekua, Diarrasouba
Match facts and H2H
- In their last four away matches, Mimosas have kept a clean sheet.
- Berkane has drawn their last three home matches.
- The clubs have faced each other three times. Berkane has two narrow victories, while ASEC Mimosas won one match 3-1.
- In Berkane's last 6 matches, the "Total over 2.5" bet has won only once.
- ASEC's away matches have also been low-scoring. The "Total over 2.5" bet has won only once in their last 7 away games.
Prediction
Berkane is the clear favorite in this encounter, and their victory in the previous match gives them a tangible advantage in the fight for a semifinal spot. I don't expect this match to differ significantly in spirit from the previous one, and I anticipate it will be low-scoring. Our bet is "Total under 2.5" with odds of 1.75.
