RS Berkane vs TP Mazembe Prediction

The game is too close to call, with the Congolese SuperLig leaders emerging as slight favorites to book a place in the Confederation Cup final. This is mostly due to Berkane failing to score an away goal in Brazzaville. Even a draw in this second leg with not be enough for the Moroccon team to go through.

Nonetheless, we expect a draw in this tie, with Mazembe sealing a place in the final.
