In Pool B, it's already all over.Before the start of Matchday 6, Zamalek (Egypt) and Abu Salem (Libya) are already certain of a place in the CAF Cup quarter-finals. The Egyptians (13 pts) have even secured first place.Tonight's visit of Soar Académie (1 pt) is a mere consolation. The Libyans (9 pts) also travel to Esperança (5 pts), assured of finishing in 3rd place.
Group D also has two qualifiers. They are RS Berkane (11 pts) and Stade Malien (10 pts). However, it remains to be seen who will come out on top when the two teams meet in Morocco this evening. The other game between Sekhukhune United (5 pts) and Diables Noirs (1 pt) has less at stake. Whatever happens, the Congolese will remain bottom of the group.
