Match preview
Power Dynamos opened the group stage with two defeats, but managed to collect four points in their matches against Rivers United. As a result, the club now trails Berkane by three points and retains only a theoretical chance of reaching the playoffs.
The catch is that Power Dynamos lost the away game to Berkane 3-0, and the group standings are determined by head-to-head results. In essence, Power Dynamos need a big win—by a margin of 4-0 or greater—to keep their hopes alive. It’s worth noting that in the Zambian league, the team sits second, trailing Red Arrows only on goal difference.
Berkane started the tournament strongly, notching up two victories in their opening matches—at home against Power Dynamos (3-0) and away to Rivers United (2-1). However, in two encounters with one of Africa’s top clubs, Pyramids, the Moroccans failed to impress.
The home match against the Egyptian side ended in a goalless draw, while the away fixture saw Berkane fall with little resistance, conceding three unanswered goals. It’s worth mentioning that the Moroccan league is currently on pause. After six matches played, Berkane sits only eighth, but they have four games in hand over leaders Maghreb Fès.
