Young Africans vs Club Africain Prediction: Both sides will be pleased with a point

Young Africans will host the Tunisia-based side at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium on Wednesday. Despite their dominance in the Tanzania league, the home side are yet to

mark in this competition and a win here could well go down as one of their most significant achievements.

Tanzania Champions have been regular participants in this tournament; however, in the last nine attempts, they have failed to get past the qualifying round. They were knocked out by Nigerian heavyweight Rivers United the previous year as they were beaten (2-0) on aggregate. They secured the ticket to round 2 after beating Zalan FC from South Sudan (9-0) on aggregate. However, they were knocked out of the CAF Champions League by Al Hilal and will now settle for a confederation tournament this season.

The Tanzania side occupies the top spot on the Ligi Kuu Bara league standings as they remain unbeaten in the competition.

Club Africain are a top side in CAF Competition and have won the CAF Champions League once. However, they have declined massively in recent years. The home side finished fourth in their domestic league last season to draw a matchup in the CAF confederation cup.

They settled for a draw in Zanzibar in the first leg of the round. It was a disappointing result for them as they played against the lowest-ranked side. We didn't expect a toothless game that finished (0-0). However, they scored seven times in the return leg to secure a ticket to this round.

Young Africans have a terrible record in intercontinental competition. They will play against one of the most experienced sides in the competition. It will not be easy for both sides; however, we expect a BTTS here for 1.92.

They might settle for a halftime draw at 1.93.

We expect both sides to settle for a full-time draw here for 3.04.

Good luck!
