This promises to be another interesting encounter at Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in the CAF Champions League. SOA is in 2nd position and welcome Nouadhibou in 1st place. Read all about the match here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 0-3-1 (win-draw-loss) from four matches. It's quite the trip for Nouadhibou when visiting SOA as the cities are 2800 kilometers apart.
