St Eloi Lupopo vs Al Akhdar Prediction: A tough contest for both sides

In the third round of matches for the CAF Confederation Cup, St. Eloi Lupopo and Al Akhdar will face off against one another at the Stadium de la Victoire in Lubumbashi. While the host team was unable to earn a point in either of their first two group openers, Al Akhdar was successful in earning a draw against USM Alger.

The likelihood of St. Eloi Lupopo advancing to the knockout stages of the competition is decreasing, and a loss in this encounter will make it even more challenging for them to do so. The host squad suffered defeats in both of their season openers, falling to USM Alger and Marumo Gallants, respectively. Etoile Lupopo only managed to score one goal while allowing five others to be scored against them in six games. They are currently in last place in Group A of the CAF Confederation Cup, and they are the only club that has yet to earn a point in the competition.

Following their draw with USM Alger in the second round of matches, Al Akhdar will strive for an even stronger performance when they take on St. Eloi Lupopo. However, the entire team, on both offense and defense, will be held to a higher standard because they are not in particularly good form based on how they have performed in their most recent matches overall. Al Akhdar has only one victory, two draws, and five defeats in their previous eight matches across all competitions. The away team from Al Akhdar is currently in third place in the CAF Confederation Cup Group A standings after earning one point from their most recent draw.

In spite of the fact that they have not been successful in winning a match thus far in this competition, I believe that this match may prove to be their opportunity to finally break through and claim victory. Taking the host team into consideration, their performances in the league have been about average, and if they are able to maintain that level of play throughout this match, they will unquestionably emerge triumphant. In the meantime, the fact that the away team will not be competing on their home field will present a difficulty for them, just like it did during the match they played against the Marumo Gallants. As a result, we do not believe that they are capable of delivering a significant performance.
