One of the matches in the sixth round of the CAF Confederations Cup will take place on Sunday at Omar Hamadi Stadium, where USM Alger will face South African side SuperSport United. Here's the match prediction from Dailysports experts.
USM Alger
"The Red and Blacks" have already secured their passage from the group stage and a spot in the CAF Confederations Cup playoffs. Essentially, Deni Lavagne's team settled all matters in the opening three matches, where they collected maximum points. Following that, they played a goalless draw against Futuro, and in the last round, they lost to Al-Hilal Benghazi with a score of 1-2. In their domestic league, USM Alger currently occupies the eighth position in the standings, with 26 points from 17 matches. Their away defeat to Henshela marks their third consecutive loss under Deni Lavagne's management.
SuperSport United
"The Matsatsantsa" have failed in the group stage and have already lost all chances of advancing to the playoffs. Currently, SuperSport United sits in fourth place, with only 4 points to their name. The critical moment for "The United" was a series of three consecutive defeats at the start of the tournament. Attempting to recover, the South Africans first secured a victory against Al-Hilal Benghazi. However, in the crucial match on Sunday, Gavin Hunt's team hosted Cairo's Futuro and failed to secure three points, drawing 1-1. Last Thursday, "The Matsatsantsa" played an away match against Cape Town City in the league and avoided defeat by scoring an equalizer in the 90+6th minute.
