There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the CAF Champions League 1st Preliminary Round meeting between Al Ahli Tripoli and Nouadhibou. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Nouadhibou have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 0-2-3 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 4400 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
