CA Bizertin vs Club Africain Prediction: We anticipate a full-time stalemate with the guests advancing to the next round

The quest to play in the CAF continental Cup continues with CA Bizertin locking horns against Club Africain at the Stade du 15 Octobre Stadium on Wednesday. The hosts, who secure a premiership spot after playing in the relegation round will be hopeful of featuring in next season's CAF Confederation Championship, the same as the visitors, who have been nothing short of disappointing this campaign.

Maher Kanzari's men have been up and running in recent weeks, heading here without a defeat in three matches. They ended their relegation/promotion campaign in the second spot, three points behind Olympique Beja. CA Bizertin, who failed to make the championship round, will be determined to win this year’s Tunisian Cup, considering their performance and the quality of their squad. 

They have had some easy games in this tournament, winning twice after extra minutes and one at regular time. 

CA Bizertin have won this tournament three times, and they’ll be keen to lay their hands on the trophy for the first time since 2013. 

After a disastrous season which saw them wrapped up their campaign in sixth spot, Faouzi Benzarti can't afford not to win this match. Club Africain have been below par in the league as they played ten league games with just a win. Club Africain have been at their very best in this competition despite their struggles in the league, as they have faced tougher teams to advance to this round. 

Club Africain have won this trophy eight times and they’ll be desperate to win it this year and also secure the CAF Confederations Cup spot. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Club Africain have won seven times while CA Bizertin have recorded six victories and seven games ending in a tie. 

Club African have not lost any of their last five matches against CA Bizertin.

CA Bizertin have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five meetings against Club Africain. 

Club African are a top team who started the season well but ended badly. This is their only opportunity to play continental football next season, and with an experienced gaffer like Faouzi Benzarti, we expect them to advance to the next round. At the same time, it won’t come easy as CA Bizertin have won nine of their last ten games on their ground. 

The guests are stronger on paper, but this tournament is full of surprises. We are going to settle for a BTTS since the hosts have not kept a clean sheet against Club Africian before.

We expect the guests to qualify for the next round for 1.88.

This game might end in a full-time draw for 3.06.

Good luck!
