The first of two encounters in the CAF Confederations Cup Quarter-finals, as the hometeam CS Sfaxien will try to edge JS Kabylie in their own ballpark.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Sfaxien's stadium, Stade Taïeb Mhiri, has a grass surface. JS Kabylie have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for JS Kabylie when playing on grass; 6 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses from 21 matches. They have scored 27 goals in these games and conceded 25.
These teams have little in common geographically as JS Kabylie have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
