Abu Salim vs Sagrada Esperanca Prediction: We expect the home to at least win either half here

Abu Salem will square off against Sagrada Esperanca at the Nelson Mandela Stadium on Sunday. The Libyan side will play their home game in Algeria, and after their opening-day defeat, where they managed to concede just once, we expect them to secure the maximum points here.

Despite appearing in this tournament for the first time, Abu Salim Tripoli fans will be happy with their progress so far. Their first game ended in a (1-0) slim defeat against Zamalek in Egypt. They managed to concede just a goal because their opponent were wasteful.

Abu Salim Tripoli, who gained promotion in 2021, knocked out Tunisia-based side Olympique Beja in the qualifying round.

The visitors began their journey with a comfortable (2-0) victory over Soar Academy. Sagrada Esperanca have lost just once in their league, as they sit in fourth spot on the log.

Sagrada Esperanca were in the CAF Champions League group phase in 2023, where they failed to win any of their games. This is their first time here, and we expect them to fight.

Abu Slim have no experience in this competition, but that never really mattered as they have played with Olympique Beja, Kampala City, and Zamalek. In all these games, they have shown class, and we expect them to put up a good fight here. On the other hand, Sagrada Esperanca will strive to take advantage of the neutral ground here to get a back-to-back win in the group. This is a tough game, but we expect the home side to win either half after their defensive display against Zamalek; bet on home winning either half for 1.75.

We expect both teams to settle for a full-time draw for 1.85.

This game should be able to produce a BTTS for 2.02.

Good luck!
