Petro Luanda welcome TP Mazembe to Estadio 11 de Novembro for the second leg of their CAF Champions League quarter-final tie on Saturday (April 6th).
The tie is still firmly in the balance, with the first leg having ended in a goalless stalemate in Lubumbashi last week.
TP Mazembe dominated for most of the first leg in front of their own fans but failed to make the pressure and home advantage count. Les Corbeaux had a total of 28 shots in the game and a 1.7 XG compared to their visitors' two shots and 0.08 XG.
However, a combination of profiligacy in front of goal and Petro's defensive solidity ensured that the Angolan club's goal remained unbreached.
Both sides will resume hostilities this weekend and the winner of this tie will face either Simba or Al Ahly in the last four.

Petro Luanda vs TP Mazembe Prediction
Petro Luanda kept their five-month unbeaten run going with a gritty display in the first leg. Alexandre Santos went to Congo DR with a gameplan and his players executed it to perfection with a defensive masterclass against one of the continent's powerhouses.
However, they will have to be considerably more adventurous at home if they are to advance to a third CAF Champions League semi-final.
TP Mazembe were the favorites in this tie but their failure to win the first leg has left them in danger of being eliminated in the last eight.
Petro Luanda's unbeaten run means they will be confident of advancing to the next round. We are backing Os Petrolíferos to claim a narrow win and clean sheet.
