After defeating ASN Nigelec of Niger in the qualifying round, the three-time CAF Champions League champion advances to the following round. After losing to Al Ahly last season, the Green Eagles reached the quarterfinals. Olympique Safi defeated Raja Casablanca on the road, ending their league unbeaten streak. Tomorrow, they will play the Ugandan team in front of their crazy football fans at the 60,000-capacity Mohamed V Stadium.
For the first time in their history, Viper SC will advance to the CAF Champions League group stage. They were able to get in thanks to their strong performance in the qualifying round against TP Mazembe. Since the start of the season, Vipers SC have won eight games, drawn three, and lost three, putting them five points behind Kampala City in the Uganda Premier League. Vipers SC is known for being good at defense, allowing only five goals in their league season.
Match details

PREDICTION
It is anticipated that between 2019 and 2022, under the direction of Mondher Kebaier, the former Tunisia manager, they will compete with their city rivals, Wydad, for the CAF Champions League. Raja will face a Vipers SC team that has been strong in Ugandan football but hasn’t yet made an impression on the continent. The visitors defeated TP Mazembe on penalties after crushing Olympic Real de Bangui over two legs to advance to the group stage of this competition. With their home advantage, Raja should win this game fairly easily.
Team News

Young striker Al-Hussein Rahimi suffered an injury while playing for the National Youth Team. For the Vipers, striker Yunus Sentamu recovered from a groin injury, and Livingston Mulondo is also available for selection.

Betting Tips
Raja Casablanca were inconsistent in the league this season, but since Mondher Kebaier, a Tunisian coach, was hired, they have improved. On the other hand, Vipers SC haven’t been terrible, but they’ve lost three times this season on the road. Given the quality of the Moroccan league’s two teams, back a win at home with more than 1.5 goals for 1.70.
We anticipate Raja Casablanca to prevail at halftime for 1.80. Since winning on the road is not guaranteed, the home team must score at least enough to win in this competition; wager $2.01 on more than 2.5 goals scored together.
