Get ready for the return leg of the CAF Confederations Cup 2nd Preliminary Round between CS Sfaxien and Bayelsa United. This should be an interesting match and this preview contains everything you need to know. Read on!

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This ground has grass, which is not Bayelsa United's usual surface at their own football field. When appearing on grass Bayelsa United have performed like this: Played 30 matches earning 1 win, 6 draws and 23 defeats with the goal numbers 13-54 (scored/conceded).

Bayelsa United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
