All original articlesThis weekend, African football will be in turmoil with the return quarter-finals of club competitions. In the CAF Cup, there will be heavy. Presentation of the fixtures.
Everything is open for the return quarter-finals of the CAF Cup. In the first leg, the results were close, and therefore suggest games played this weekend.
To open the ball, we will have on Saturday, March 21 a duel between CR Belouizdad (Algeria) - Al Masry SC (Egypt). During the first duel, the two teams had a 1-1 draw in the land of the Pharaohs. The Algerians therefore leave with a small advantage which is however not prohibitive.
Zamalek, the winner two years ago, also carried out a great operation on the first leg. The Egyptians went to seek the 1-1 draw in Brazzaville against AS Otoho thanks to Oday Dabbagh. The return leg, at home moreover, seems to be within reach for Zamalek, double winner of the CAF Cup (2019, 2024).
Maniema Union to confirm
Wydad has never won the competition. And why not this year? To achieve this, it will first be necessary to get rid of the Olympic Club of Safi in a fratricidal duel. On the first leg, there was a 1-1 draw.
Finally, the only team that had won on the first leg was AS Maniema. The Congolese had beaten USM Alger 2-1. However, it will be necessary to validate the advance in a perilous trip to Algeria.
