The journey towards qualification for the next round continues with the program for the fourth day which particularly puts Raja to the test. The AS FAR and the RSB are currently out of danger.
With intense battles across all four groups, teams are gearing up for pivotal encounters that could shape their destiny in the competition. But things started to get tough for certain formations on the third day.
This season, in the African Champions League, only Al Hilal of Sudan manages to do well by being the only club to have won its three matches and comfortably heading towards qualification, with a comfortable cushion of five points on its direct pursuer Mouloudia of Algiers.
All the other groups were marked by a lack of regularity.
Group B where AS FAR and Raja Casablanca are housed seems after three days of competition, still undecided. No scenario can be ruled out at this time.
However, the two representatives of the national colors are called upon to be vigilant and cautious.
Militaires and Mamelodi Sundowns share first place in Group B with five points each. The FAR of Rabat receive Maniema Union, third with three points, in a match which could reshape the ranking. Of course, Hubert Velud’s men are boasting about the latest positive results in the national championship thanks to their three consecutive victories, but caution remains in order.
Maniema Union, a club from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is making a historic entry into the competition, is a formidable and feared opponent. He owes his third position and his three points to his three draws against AS FAR, Raja and Mamelodi Sundowns. This shows the full capacity of this surprising formation to hold its own against its counterparts. AS FAR will play on Saturday at the Stade d’Honneur in Meknes from 8:00 p.m. and will aim to beat the Congolese against whom they suffered in the first leg. For its part, Raja Casablanca, last in the standings with just one point, is in a bad position. Their shock on Saturday at the same time against Mamelodi Sundowns constitutes a real test for a team in decline and which is seeking to recover.
Last with only one point on the clock, the Greens will play their best. The margin of error is reduced to almost nothing. A defeat for Raja combined with a victory for AS FAR will definitively put an end to any hope of qualification. The Casablanca team is therefore strongly called upon to deploy to get back into the race.
In the Confederation Cup, nothing disturbs the leader of the Botola Pro D1 inwi, also in control of its group B with three victories. Six goals scored against just one conceded. Mouine Chaabani’s men are heading towards a new qualification. A victory against Stade Malien at the Stade du 26 Mars will formalize the passage of the RSB.
Note that in the Confederation Cup, Morocco occupies first place in the rankings by nation with seven victories and three lost finals. A statistic that we owe to the titles won by Raja Casablanca (2), RSB (2), AS FAR (1), Maghreb AS (1) and Fath US (1).
