Stade Malien vs Sekhukhune United Prediction: The home side are well-experienced compared to their opponent

On Wednesday, Malian heavyweight will lock horns with Sekhukhune United of South Africa at the Stade 26 Mars Stadium. Both sides settle for a tie in the reverse leg, but we think Stade Malien will be stronger on their ground.

Les Blanc's head here with a point on the road against Sekhukhune United. The result came after their (1-2) defeat on their ground against RSB Berkane in Bamako.

Stade Maleien took advantage of their opponent's defensive lapses when they scored three times before the break to win their opening game. However, they have failed to win their last two games, scoring once and conceding twice.

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

The visitors began their journey in this competition with a (2-0) defeat on the road to RSB Berkane. The result was followed by a comeback victory over Diables Noirs in South Africa, but then settled for a share of the spoils on their ground in their recent meeting against Stade Malien.

Sekhukhune United have been inconsistent on the road this season, and a defeat here would end their hopes of advancing to the knockout phase.

The reverse leg was somewhat disappointing as both teams failed to find the back of the net. Stade Malien was the closest to securing the maximum points as the hosts failed to take advantage of massive support from their fans. Stade Malien are a well-experienced side in this competition, and we think they’ll secure the maximum points here for 1.92.

We expect an open encounter with goals at both ends for 2.19.

This game will produce more goals after the break for 2.15.

Good luck!
