Esperance Tunis will host Mamelodi Sundowns in the second leg of the 2024-25 CAF Champions League quarterfinal on Tuesday at the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi. Can the Red and Yellow overturn their first-leg 1-0 loss against Bafana ba Style to qualify for the semifinals? Here is our prediction for the match.

Esperance Tunis lost the reverse fixture by a lone goal in their last game. Namibian striker Peter Shalulile's 54th-minute goal condemned the Tunisian champions to defeat in Pretoria. This result extends their winless run to three matches.

Notably, while Maher Kanzari's side have been enduring a rough patch lately, they remain formidable at home. Dating back to last season, the Tunis-based side have yet to taste defeat at the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi. They have won five of their last six fixtures at the venue (D1), including all their CAF Champions League home matches this season.

 Mamelodi Sundowns won their second match in a row following the 1-0 win over Esperance Tunis in their last match. However, they have struggled on the road lately, going winless in their last two trips (both domestic league fixtures).

Additionally, they have lost two of their last three matches against Esperance Tunis and have never won an away fixture against the Tunisian champions in their nine meetings. Hence, our prediction for this match.
