RSB Berkane vs Stade Malien Prediction: The Orange Boys will exert dominance over their guests

On Sunday, the Orange Boys will lock horns against Stade Malien at the Stade Municipal de Berkane Stadium. Both teams met in this competition last season, with Berkane doing the double over the Malian team. We expect another decent run from RSB Berkane against a well-drilled opponent tomorrow.

The Orange Boys are among the best teams and the favorite to win this tournament, and they showed that when they scored three times against Stellenbosch in South Africa. RSB Berkane found the back of the net twice before the break, courtesy of Youssef Zghoudi's brace in the first fifteen minutes. They extended the lead in the second half as Stellenbosch scored a consolation goal in the 87th minute. Before then, Orange Boys recovered a comfortable (2-0) victory over the Angola-based Luanda Sul team. It was not their best performance regarding chance conversion, but they dominated from start to end. 

RSB Berkane were the runners-up last season and are an experienced team in this competition. The Orange Boys won in 2022 and have won the trophy twice in their history.

RSB Berkane have been solid defensively this season, as they have played eight times, conceding just four goals. 

Les Blancs march here with a (1-1) share of the spoils against Lunda Sul on the road. Stade Malien had four shots at goal and only converted one. Despite the stalemate, Stade Malien were the second-best in that encounter. This was after their emphatic (2-0) victory over Stellenbosch on their home turf. 

Stade Malien sit in second place on the standings, picking up four points from a combined six. 

Stade Malien are not a novice in this competition, after winning the CAF Confederation title in 2009, and will be confident of making it to the finals. 

The Orange Boys won back-to-back games against Stade Malien in this competition last season. RSB Berkane have been up and running well since the start of this season, and are unbeaten in their last eleven games. On the opposing end, Stade Malien have not been bad as well, as they have not lost any game since the competition began. 

RSB Berkane are a top side with experience and a quality coach. They are heads and shoulders above the guests, and I think they’ll win and score more than a goal here for 1.70.

The Orange Boys will start strong as usual, and they’ll likely secure a halftime victory here for 1.90.

This game might likely produce more than two goals for 2.07.

Good luck!
