THE PREDICTION

Group A leaders Simba have racked up seven points from their three group matches and currently hold a three-point lead over Vita Club and Al Ahly in second and third respectively. They’ll be hoping to at least maintain that cushion with three points here against Al Merreikh. Having not conceded so far in the CAF Champions League group stage, Simba will look to prioritise a fourth successive clean sheet and when considering that Al Merreikh have shipped seven goals in their opening three games, the hosts will be confident of finding the net at least once in this match. Providing that they maintain that defensive stability, Simba with home advantage in their favour should have enough quality within their squad to pick up the three points.
