Academica vs Club Africain Prediction: Visitors will not lose

Academica and Club Africain will compete against one another in the second round of the CAF Confederation Cup for Group C. The match will take place at Estádio do Buraco Lobito. Both teams will be looking to win this match, but the home team will be extra motivated to do so because they are anxious to grab their first victory of the campaign for themselves. Following this, I will analyze the current form of each team and then make a prediction. 

Academica's CAF Confederation campaign for 2023 got off to a bad start with a defeat to Rivers United. Academica gave up their first goal in the first half of a match that finished with a score of 0-3. This goal came as early as the third minute, when Samuel Antwi scored on his opportunity. However, goals scored by Paul Odeh and Shedrack Asiegbu in the second half were sufficient to completely destroy Academica's chances of winning that match. Academica, on the other hand, have won two of their most recent five matches across all competitions, which brings them into this encounter. In recent matches, Academica has scored three goals while allowing four goals to be scored against them in the same amount of time.

Club Africain is optimistic about their chances in matchday 2 against the formidable Academica side. The visiting team comes into this fixture in excellent form, securing victories in their most recent six matches and maintaining an unbeaten streak spanning their last 12 matches across all competitions. Currently, in the CAF Confederation Group C standings, Club Africain holds the top position.

Even though they are playing away, I don't anticipate Club Africain losing in this match, especially considering they are facing an inconsistent Academica side, which provides them with a good opportunity. While I generally prefer to play it safe, opting for a 'draw no bet' option for the visitors appears to be a secure choice in this match.
