The Berkane Renaissance will try to achieve a victory against Stade Malien during the match scheduled for this Sunday, on the pitch of the Stade du 26 Mars in Bamako, from 8 p.m., on behalf of the fourth day of the group stage of the African Confederation Cup.
The orange team is aiming for three points to ensure their qualification for the quarter-finals even before the last two days of the group stage. Berkane achieved a flawless performance in the first leg, totaling 9 points after beating all his opponents in the group, thus consolidating his place as leader with a lead of five points over his direct pursuer.
