TP Mazembe will travel to Nouadhibou for their Match Day 3 clash in Group A of the CAF Champions League. These two sides are both on three points, with Mazembe second and Nouadhibou third based on goal difference. A win from their opening two matches symbolises a positive start for Nouadhibou in this group. They opened their campaign with a loss to Mamelodi Sundowns but recovered on Match Day 2. The 2-0 win over Egyptian side Pyramids was a massive boost to their hopes and a stepping stone. Nouadhibou warmed up for this game with a 7-0 win over AS Entou in their domestic league. With that result, they’ve scored at least two goals in four of their last five matches. In this five-game run, Nouadhibou only failed to score once, against Sundowns in a 3-0 loss. Three of their last five matches produced under 2.5 goals.

TP Mazembe, like their hosts, will be gunning for a second win in three group matches. They didn’t have the best of starts in their Group A matches, losing 1-0 to Pyramids. However, on Match Day 2 they recovered to beat Mamelodi Sundowns 1-0 at home. TP Mazembe have a relatively good run coming into this game, with just two losses in 10 outings. In the last eight matches, however, they haven't managed consecutive wins. It is this patchy run that the Congolese giants will be keen to address. The last time they played an away match in this competition, Mazembe lost 1-0 to Pyramids. In their last two continental matches played away from home, Mazembe failed to score. However, with three wins in the last four Champions League games, they will be favorites coming into this game. Low scores have been a major highlight in Mazembe’s continental matches, four of their last five producing under 2.5 goals.
