Cape Town City vs AS Otoho Prediction: The Citizens will be stronger

The Citizens will host the Congolese champions at the Athlone Stadium on Saturday. The visitors are very familiar with the competition while the Citizens will be gracing the competition for the first time. 

Cape Town City (South Africa)

One of the best teams in the league last season with forty-nine points in thirty games, they finished below Mamelodi Sundowns in second place. The Citizens also lost the MTN8 final to Sundowns on penalties, giving them a rightful claim to being the second-best side in the country. They hope to go one better this coming season, but how they manage with the extra pressures of a maiden Caf Champions League campaign will be the definitive factor.

The Citizens recorded just a loss in all the fifteen games played at home last season.

AS Otoho (Congo)

The Congolese champions won the title last season when they finished above Diables Noirs. AS Otoho picked up fifty-six points in twenty-five games, scoring thirty-eight goals.

They have been a regular face in the competition but have yet to surpass the qualifying stage.

They have a great coach with lots of experience in their ranks; however, tomorrow's opponent won't be a walkover.
