It's game one of two in the CAF Confederations Cup as Nkana host Tihad Casablanca. This is a Play-offs fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
