There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the CAF Confederations Cup 2nd Preliminary Round meeting between RSB Berkane and Ben Guerdane. Game on!
Not much time to rest for the home team, as they were involved in a Botola Pro game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Khouribga, was also a home game here at Stade Municipal de Berkane. The away team is better rested.

It's quite the trip for Ben Guerdane when visiting Berkane as the cities are 1600 kilometers apart.
