Match Preview for CR Belouizdad vs Stade d’Abidjan

CR Belouizdad:

The Algerian giants are riding high on their recent form, having won five of their last six matches across all competitions. They bounced back from a disappointing 6-1 defeat to Al Ahly Cairo in December with a strong 1-0 home win against the same side earlier this month. CR Belouizdad sits comfortably in the top half of Group B and will be aiming to secure maximum points to boost their qualification chances.

Stade d’Abidjan:

The Ivorian side faces an uphill battle in Algiers. They are yet to win a match in this year’s group stage and currently sit at the bottom of Group B. Stade d’Abidjan’s recent 3-0 defeat to Orlando Pirates exposed defensive vulnerabilities, and their inability to score in the reverse fixture against CR Belouizdad suggests a challenging outing lies ahead.
