National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Enugu Rangers or Nouadhibou that keep their silverware dream alive.
The hosts Enugu Rangers saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Npfl. Thankfully the previous game, versus Ifeanyi Uba, was also a home game here at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 4100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

That’s what Enugu Rangers have to build on here at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in the Npfl. 2W-1D-4L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the CAF Confederations Cup for Enugu Rangers.

Nouadhibou form and stats
Nouadhibou's mission in CAF Confederations Cup last season failed in the 1st round.2-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Nouadhibou in their Super D1 matches away. When we have look at the CAF Confederations Cup statistics, we find 1W-1D-3L. This is both home and away. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Nouadhibou's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Two away games in a row for Nouadhibou, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Tidjikja in the Super D1. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Enugu Rangers.
