CR Belouizdad vs Al Merreikh Prediction: Expect fewer goals here

Algeria-based CR Belouizdad will host Al Merreikh at the Stade du 19 Mai 1956 Stadium on Tuesday. The visitors were the underdog in this group before the tournament began; however, they sit in the second spot after three games and look set to secure a ticket to the next round.

CR Belouizdad (Algeria)

Since their slim (0-1) win over Zamalek in Egypt, Marcus Paqueta's men have failed their last two games. A defeat at home against Esperance ST and a (1-0) loss against Al Merreikh have placed them in the third spot. Their best chance of qualifying for the knockout stage is to secure all the points here, and we trust they won't disappoint their home fans.

The three-time quarter-finalists in the competition are yet to win the title. They were eliminated by the champions in the quarter-finals last season.

Al Merreikh (Sudan)

The Glowing Red have been impressive since the commencement of this tournament and are second on the table. Al Merreikh will not be a walkover in this group, and we trust them to secure a ticket to the next round.

Al-Meririkh are a top team in Sudan and a runner-up in the CAF confederation competition in 2017. Their best results in this competition were a quarter-final finish in 1975 and a semifinalist in 2015. Since then, it has been a terrible experience.

Expert Betting Tips

CR Belouizdad were beaten by the visitors last week in what seemed to be one of the shocking results in the round. Al Merreikh have conceded just once in their last three games, and we are pretty confident this game will be a tight contest. We expect a total of under 2.5 goals here for 1.70.

The visitors might even secure a halftime draw here for 2.30.

CR Belouizdad have been struggling in recent games, and they will be under pressure playing here; bet on both halves under 1.5 goals for 1.98.

Good luck!
