ASEC Mimosas vs Esperance Tunis Prediction
ASEC Mimosas are lucky to be still in this tie after the battering they received in the first leg. The Ivorians have home advantage in the second leg and also have a superior record in previous head-to-head games played. However, their form has not been good, with their last 10 games producing less than three goals.
Esperance would have been disappointed not to have claimed victory in the first leg. However, Miguel Cardoso's side are still the favorites and have not lost a game for over four months.
These two sides are ultra-conservative and we are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win and clean sheet.
