In another quarter-final match of the CAF Champions League, Al-Ahly will host Simba at home. The first leg ended with a narrow victory for the Egyptian team, 1-0 (Benjamin Mkapa Stadium DSM), and this game will kick off today at 11:00 PM East African Time.
Al-Ahly
Representing Egypt, Al-Ahly is the reigning champion of the CAF Champions League and holds the record for the most titles in this tournament, with 11. They topped their group, earning 12 points in six matches, and won the first leg of the quarter-finals against Simba 1-0. In their domestic league, Al-Ahly currently sits in tenth place in the table, but it's crucial to note that they have at least six games in hand, trailing the leader by ten points. In their last five matches, Al-Ahly won four times and lost once.
Simba
Hailing from Tanzania, Simba advanced to the playoffs from the second position in their group. They collected nine points in the group stage, trailing the leader by two points but advanced based on additional criteria. In their domestic league, Simba currently occupies third place, trailing the leader by seven points. Overall, in their last five matches, they secured three victories and suffered two defeats.
#MyPrediction
Al-Ahly is the true king of the CAF Champions League, so I don't think Simba will be able to stop them, especially after the defeat in their home leg. Therefore, my bet is on the hosts to win.
What's yours? [emoji1427]
