There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the CAF Confederations Cup Play-offs meeting between Club Africain and Young Africans. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Young Africans 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 11-4-2 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.
This looks to be an absorbing fixture with lots of action and bustle as both participants are well revitalized since they last played a game. Bring it on!
