Etoile du Sahel vs AS FAR Rabat Prediction: This fierce encounter won’t deprive us of goals

Etoile du Sahel will lock horns with AS FAR Rabat at the Stade Olympique de Sousse on Saturday. Both teams have pedigree in this tournament, and we expect an entertaining performance from them.

Etoile du Sahel (Tunisia)

The Red and White are one of the most successful teams in the Tunisian League. Etoile du Sahel won the CAF Championship once in 2007 but failed to make their mark since then. After finishing below the top four in the season before without continental games, Etoile du Sahel returned to the CAF Champions League following their successful season in the Tunisian League.

Etoile du Sahel's first-round encounter ended in a (3-0) aggregate victory over Algeria-based CS Constantine.

The Red and White are a group of young and experienced players who’ll definitely show class here.

AS FAR Rabat (Morocco)

The Black Army secured the Botola Pro League last season after a tug of war between Wydad Casablanca, which saw them win the title with their last game of the season. AS FAR Rabat lost three times in the entire campaign, scoring fifty times while conceding nineteen goals. AS FAR Rabat head into this round after their commanding victory over ASKO Kara, scoring eight goals without conceding in both legs.

AS FAR Rabat are unbeaten this season, and with their great run in the CAF Confederation Cup last campaign, we expect them to perform well here.
