Young Africans SC vs Belouizdad Prediction & Betting Tips - CAF Champions League

Prediction published on 24/02/2024, 02:04  by Daniel Ngulu in CAF Champions League Predictions

Tanzanian side Yanga will aim to move closer to the knockout stages of the CAF Champions league when they host Belouizdad. Heading into this Saturday fixture, Yanga are third in Group D, a place behind Belouizdad. Both teams are tied on five points and Yanga will see this as a good chance to leap ahead of their Algerian opponents. In their reverse fixture, Yanga lost 3-0. Here they will want to make their home advantage count. It did count in their earlier two matches there, beating Medeama 3-0 in the most recent, after a 1-1 draw with Al Ahly. Coming into this game, a solid performance from Yanga saw them edge KMC 3-0 in their domestic league. That was their fourth straight win, comfortably etching them atop the Tanzania league. In this group, two points separate the top and bottom side, thus three points will be crucial for the winner.

Belouizdad, with a better head-to-head record and goal difference are placed second. They thrashed Yanga 3-0 in their first meeting and will want to complete a double. Four points in their remaining group matches would be enough to see them progress and Belouizdad will be going for that. They are coming from a 0-0 draw at home to Al Ahly on Match Day 4. On account of a poor run away from home, they’ll rue the dropped points in the Al Ahly draw. The Algerians have actually failed to win any of their group matches since beating Yanga on Match Day 1. In the last two, they failed to score, and a loss away to Medeama dented their chances.
