Undecided posters this Friday April 5 in the Champions League (LDC CAF). For these quarter-final returns between Mamelodi Sundowns and Young Africans, Al Ahly and Simbas SC, the balance of power is approximately equal. The four teams have seasoned players within them capable of making the decision in a match.
Mamelodi Sundowns-Young African, precarious balance
Anything can happen in this quarter-final second leg of the CAF LDC. Certainly, the South Africans of Mamelodi Sundwons will have the advantage of playing in front of their home crowd but that does not necessarily guarantee a victory. Opposite, the Tanzanians of Yanga have several strings to their bows and can make the hosts play. The draw (0-0) in the first leg reveals the defensive base of Young Africans. Who will certainly try to build a possible qualification on South African soil, from his rear base.
For Tanzanian midfielder Mahlatsi Makudubela, we should “expect a more open match than the first leg in Dar Es Salaam” , predicts the attacking midfielder. This CAF LDC poster is also that of the winner of the African Football League (Mamelodi), the finalist (Young Africans) of last season’s CAF Confederation Cup. So many ingredients that make this meeting an explosive cocktail.
Al Ahly-Simba SC, advantage for the Egyptians!
Ahly’s might will be tested again against Simba SC for the other quarter-final of the CAF UCL. It will be at the Cairo International Stadium on Friday April 5. The Egyptians start with a slight advantage by winning the first leg, a week ago in Tanzania, thanks to the decisive goal of midfielder Ahmed “Koka” Nabil.Monaco: Sofiane Diop operated successfully
earThe Cairo giants, then favorites to defend their title, are determined to win this poster. But Ahy will be without injured goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shennawy, midfielders Emam Ashour, Aliou Dieng and Karim “Nedved” Walid, as well as defender Yasser Ibrahim.
On the other hand, Tunisian striker Mohamed Dhaoui and Palestinian striker Wessam Abou Ali will be available for the match after recovering from their injuries. Despite their victory in the first leg, the Swiss coach of the Red Devils, Marcel Koller, expects a difficult match against Simba. “ I expect the match against Simba to be very difficult, just like the first leg,” Koller said. “We will approach this return match with the sole aim of obtaining a positive result and qualifying for the semi-finals ,” says his Simbas SC counterpart, Abdelhak Benchikha,
