Al Akhdar vs Saint Eloi Lupopo Prediction: The home side will secure their first three points here

Libya-based Al Akhdar will host Saint Eloi Lupopo at the Martyrs of February Stadium on Wednesday. The home side are on the verge of missing out on the knockout stages, and a failure to win here means they're mathematically off.

The home side have picked up one point since the commencement of this tournament, losing twice while sharing the spoils once. Al Akhdar kicked off the campaign with a (4-1) defeat against Marumo Gallants but endured a share of the spoils against a tough USM Alger. They surrendered to another loss against Congo-based Saint Eloi Lupopo.

Al Akhdar must find a way to win here after their disappointing defeat on the road last week.

The Railmen finally secured their first three points when they beat Al Akhdar in Congo. Lobota's goal before the break was enough to obtain their first victory.

The Railmen entered this competition for the first time, reaching the group stage for the second time since 2006. They eliminated Burundi-based RC de Kadiogo in the qualifying round on (a 2-0) aggregate.

Saint Eloi Lupopo are third on the log, and a win here will give them assurance of progressing to the next stage.

Al Akhdar were totally outplayed on the road, but they defended so well by conceding just once. Saint Eloi Lupopo hasn't been great either, but we expect them to fight here. The home side stand the better chance here, and we are backing them to win here for 1.56.

We expect a total of under 2.5 goals to surface here for 1.70.

A correct score of (2-0) could play out here for 5.60.

Good luck!
