Al Ahly vs TP Mazembe Prediction
Al Ahly are the defending CAF Champions League winners and are the favorites to go all the way and retain their continental crown.
The Cairo outfit did well to leave the first leg with a draw despite being outplayed for most of the game. They return to the familiarities of home comfort and will be expected to complete the job in front of their fans.
TP Mazembe will be gutted not to have made the most of their dominance at home in the first leg. They controlled proceedings throughout and ended the game with an XG of 2.22 to their visitors 0.56. They also had 63% of the possession but were let down by their profligacy in front of goal.
Both sides are among the giants of African club football and have the know-how to navigate contests at this level. However, Al Ahly are practically synonymous with this competition, owing to their status as the most successful side in CAF Champions League history. They will also have a strong support roaring them to victory.
