Young Africans vs MC Alger Prediction: The Yanga Boys will do everything right and secure all the points

This stage is set for one of the most important games of the group as Young Africans will fight tooth and nail to secure the maximum points when they host MC Alger at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium. The Algerian-based side will be keen to stun the home side on their ground; however, this is Yanga Boys' last opportunity to advance to the next round, and they'll make it count. 

Young Africans (Tanzania)

Last five games: LLDWW

The Yanga Boys head here with their second victory of the competition, scoring once against a qualified Al Hilal side. Young Africans, who needed the win to boost their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage, were perfect all-round against their opponent as Stephane Aziz Ki scored the only goal that won them all the points. This was after their (3-1) victory over TP Mazembe on their home turf. 

Young Africans have picked up seven points from a combined fifteen, scoring five and conceding six. 

Young Africans have not made their mark in this competition, with a group stage finish since 1998. 

MC Alger (Algeria)

Last five games: DWLDW

The Deans reignited their hopes of making it to the knockout stage when they secured all the points against TP Mazembe on their home turf. Even though it wasn’t the score we expected, they got the job regardless. They were wasteful and couldn’t get past their opponent, all thanks to Akram Bouras, who scored from the penalty spot. 

Things have not been going in the right direction for the Algerian heavyweight, who have won twice since the competition began. Benyahia’s men occupy second place on the log, picking up eight points from a combined fifteen, scoring four and conceding twice. 

MC Alger have won this competition once, and they’ll be at their best against their opponent tomorrow.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous three meetings, Young Africa have won once, while MC Alger have recorded two wins. It’s a do-or-die affair for both teams as Young Africans need to win here while MC Alger will be pleased with a point at least.

Young Africans were in the same position last year, and it was against an Algerian side, CR Belouizdad. They scored four times against CR Belouizdad, which earned them a second spot on the log. MC Alger have been poor up front, and we think they’ll struggle against the home team.

This is a lifetime opportunity for Young Africans as their destiny is in their hands—just win and secure the second spot. Anything aside the maximum points means that Yanga Boys will try again next year. 

I’m backing Young Africans to capitalize on their home advantage and secure all the points here; bet on a home win for 1.84 at (Betway).

I also think this game won’t produce lots of goals as anyone who scores first will definitely defend the scoreline with their lives; bet on a total under 2.5 goals for 1.60 at (Bet365).

I also think both teams might likely settle for a halftime stalemate for 2.00 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
