Yanga, the Tanzanian giants, are set to host Mamelodi Sundowns in the first leg of their CAF Champions League quarterfinals this Saturday. Yanga earned their spot in this match by finishing second in Group D, while Sundowns secured the top position in Group A, marking their inaugural encounter.

Yanga, who were the losing finalists in the Confederations Cup last season, have rightfully earned their place to compete against the top teams in African football. Despite being considered underdogs in this match, Yanga are unlikely to be intimidated, buoyed by their passionate home crowd. However, the hosts come into this game following a loss in the Tanzania league, where they were defeated 2-1 away by Azam FC. Nevertheless, this setback hasn't significantly affected their title race as they still maintain their position at the top of the league standings. Yanga also concluded their group stage matches with a defeat, losing 1-0 away to Al Ahly. Facing another formidable opponent immediately afterward will require a stellar performance from the team based in Kariakor. Yet, their impressive seven-game unbeaten run at home in the Champions League provides them with the confidence needed, having secured five wins during this streak.
Mamelodi Sundowns
Mamelodi Sundowns will arrive in East Africa buoyed by a 2-0 victory over Maritzburg in the domestic cup last 16. This win extended their unbeaten streak to 15 matches since their 1-0 loss to TP Mazembe on Match Day 2 of the Champions League. Heading into this game, the South Africans not only boast six wins in their last seven matches but also demonstrate solid defensive capabilities. They have kept clean sheets in seven of their last 10 matches and have conceded only once in their last five away matches. Notably, Sundowns' sole goal conceded in the Champions League this season occurred in their 1-0 loss to Mazembe, marking their only concession in six matches. Overall, they have conceded just once in eight Champions League matches, winning six out of eight. Furthermore, Sundowns have suffered only one loss in 10 away matches in the Champions League.
Expert Betting Tips
Competing at this level for the first time, Young Africans hope to prolong their continental journey. Yanga SC have maintained an unbeaten home record since May 2023, with their only draw during this period against continental giants Al Ahly in the group stage. The Tanzanian champions approach this match quietly confident, aiming for another positive result against a heavyweight opponent. Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns, winners of the inaugural edition of the AFL, seek to capitalize on that achievement by clinching their first CAF Champions League title since 2016. To do so, they must secure a semifinal spot for the second consecutive season, making a positive result in the first leg crucial. Both teams are expected to leave everything on the pitch, setting the stage for an intense second leg in South Africa as they vie for victory.
