It’s CAF Confederation Cup West African derby as Rivers flow into Ghana
Rivers United will hope to continue their splendid performance in the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup as they hope to set up a nightmare for Ghana’s Dreams FC this Sunday.
Rivers United were off to a bright start after beating Academica do Lobito of Angola 3-0 in Uyo. In contrast, Ghana’s Dreams FC will be aiming for a comeback after slumping to Tunisia’s Club Africain last weekend.
A win for Rivers United will put them in good frame for the knockout stage of the competition.
In the same group, both Club Africain and Academica do Lobito face each other in the early evening fixture where the Tunisians are aiming for nothing less than a victory to keep their winning run, while the Angolans will be looking at getting out of the bottom of the group.
In the continuation of the MatchDay 2 there are a total of eight fixtures on the card this Sunday .
Kicking things off will be the reigning champions of the competition, USM Alger who will be travelling from the northern tip of the continent down to the south where they will face South Africa’s, SuperSport United – runners up of the competition in 2017.
In a simultaneous fixture, Libya’s Abu Salem who played well against Zamalek last week despite their narrow 1-0 loss have a chance to reverse their fortunes when they travel to Angola’s Segrada Esperanca, who are fresh from their 2-0 win over CO Coyah last weekend.
In Mali, Stade Malien plays host to RS Berkane of Morocco who are looking at reclaiming their 2022 title in this new season. The Moroccans got their campaign off to a good start last weekend with a 2-0 victory over debutants Sekhukhune United of South Africa but will have a much tougher assignment when facing Stade Malien who won 3-1 away from home against Diables Noirs last week.
Closing off the Sunday fixtures will be Guinea’s CO Coyah welcoming former champions, Zamalek in a must win match for the hosts, in what will be an uphill task against the highly experienced Egyptian side.
Sekhukhune United, who recently appointed a new coach in Lehlohonolo Seema must get a result against Diables Noirs. Both sides suffered losses against RS Berkane and Sagrada Esperanca respectively and anything less than a win from either side will put them in a very difficult position to come back into contention for a place in the knockout stages.

One of Nigeria’s representatives in the CAF Confederation Cup, El Kanemi Warriors have a mountain to climb as they face Dadje FC this evening at the General Mathieu Kerekou Stadium in Cotonou.
Their hosts, Dadje FC carry a slight advantage into the match after obtaining a 1-1 draw last weekend in Ikenne.
A goalless draw is enough for them to sail into the second round. But not leaving anything to chances,massive home support is being planned for them as the Benin FA offered 8,000 free tickets to fans.
Dadjè FC, the Benin league runners-up escaped with a precious 1-1 draw against the El Kanemi Warriors of Nigeria.
Thanks to added time, it would have been a different story for El Kanemi who only achieved parity in the sixth minute of added time.
They had conceded a goal earlier when Salassi Bless put the Beninese ahead. El Kanemi will have to score and win this evening if they are to join Enyimba in the second round.
