AS FAR Rabat vs Maniema Union Prediction: The Royal Army will extend their decent run in this competition

In this highly competitive CAF Champions League fixture, the Royal Army will face off against Maniema Union at the Stade of Honour Meknes Stadium in a group of death. The guests are left with no option but to win here and as they clash against AS FAR Rabat, who are positioned to maintain their spot on the log.

AS FAR Rabat (Morocco)

Last three games: WDD

The Royal Army kicked off their continental journey with a decent (0-2) victory over their neighbor Raja Casablanca on the road, in a game where they had just two shots at goal and converted them. The performance was followed by a stalemate against Mamelodi Sundowns and a share of the spoils on the road against Maniema Union. 

AS FAR Rabat have picked up five points from a combined nine, as they occupy the top spot on the standings. The Royal Army are unbeaten in their last nine games across all competitions and they are determined to at least get to the final of the competition.

AS FAR Rabat are unbeaten in their last eleven games at home. 

Maniema Union (DR Congo)

Last three matches: DDD

Papy Kimoto's men have been a pain in the neck for top teams since this tournament began. Even though they have drawn three consecutive games, Maniema Union have competed with the best teams in the continent. Recently, they settled for a share of the spoils against AS FAR Rabat, firing just a shot at goal in the entire game. Even though it was a combination of luck and hard work, we can’t underestimate how the guests put in a good defensive shift, settling for a (1-1) stalemate against a not-so-convincing AS FAR Rabat team. 

Maniema Union will play their fourth-ever group stage game tomorrow at the Stade of Honor Meknes. Unfortunately, the Greens and Blacks might not survive this time as they face a very organized side tomorrow. 

Maniema Union, who won the Congolese league by a significant margin, lack the pedigree in this tournament. They’ve enough quality to produce a great result in this group, and we are backing them to do well. 

Expert Betting Tips

The reverse leg was just about Maniema Union dominating without meaningful impact. The Royal Army, who conceded first and later leveled had the opportunity to secure all the points but were just not convincing enough in front of goal. 

AS FAR Rabat have shown composure in this tournament, and their resilience in recent games will contribute to their confidence against the guests. Maniema Union set up defensively in their opening game against Mamelodi Sundowns, denying their opponent any space in their box. They will come with the same tactical approach, but I’m convinced the hosts will neutralize their game plan. 

The atmosphere in the AS FAR Rabat stadium will be strange to Maniema Union, who are playing their first-ever continental game in Morocco, which might also contribute to their downfall against the hosts. I’m hoping the hosts will win and score more than a goal on their ground tomorrow.

Every point matters in this group of death, and I’m sure AS FAR Rabat will take advantage of their home support to see off Maniema Union before the break for 1.83.

This game will likely produce less than two goals for 1.65.

Good luck!
