A decisive Sunday for the Congolese clubs in the CAF Confederation Cup. TP Mazembe host US Monastir in the third round of Group D fixtures in the CAF Confederation Cup. Third in the group with three points, the Corbeaux must win to get back into the competition. The Tunisians top the group with four points. Second-placed Young Africans take on Real Bamako, bottom with just one point.
Another Congolese club is struggling. FC Lupopo must win against Libya's Al-Akhdar in Group A to keep their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup alive. The group is led by Marumo Gallants (6 pts) ahead of USM Alger (4pts). Those two sides will also go head to head for top spot in the group.

FAR Rabat are looking to confirm their position. The Moroccans lead Group C with four points. It is nonetheless an open group, as they are only two points ahead of Pyramids FC (2 pts) and Future FC. Pyramids face Togo's Asko, while AS FAR take on Future FC.
With just one point in Group B, ASEC must beat Diables noirs to get back into the group. That looks a difficult task for the Ivorians, as Diables noirs top the group with 4 points. Second-placed Rivers United FC take on DCMP Imana.
