The CAF Confederations Cup enters Match Day 4 with one of the matches seeing Club Africain host Rivers United in Rades. This Group C clash will be a tight one with both sides on six points, Club Africain topping, and Rivers second. The hosts will be keen on avenging their 1-0 loss away to Rivers in their last continental outing. That was followed by another 1-0 loss in their domestic league at the hands of Etoile du Sahel. Club Africain will thus be desperate to return to winning ways, having earlier won seven straight games. The loss to Etoile du Sahel was a dent on their home run, and also title ambitions. Otherwise, Club Africain are very solid when playing at home. That was their only home loss in 11 matches. Their two home losses in the last 13 matches were both inflicted by Etoile du Sahel. In the Confederations Cup, Club Africain have seven wins in their last 10 home matches.

Rivers United come into this game seeking to go top of the group. A win would definitely ensure they go top. It will not be an easy task out in Rades though. The Nigerian side built on their home win over Club Africain by beateing Bayelsa United 2-0. That was their fourth win in five matches, a run only soiled by the loss to Dreams on Match Day 2. Rivers’ two wins in this pool came at home. The big task now is to beat a top team away from home. Generally, their away run hasn’t been great. The Nigerian side hasn’t won an away game in the last eight outings. They have four losses in their last five away matches and also failed to keep a clean sheet in any. Playing away from home in this competition, Rivers are winless in four matches.
