Esperance Tunis welcome ASEC Mimosas to the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi for the first leg of their CAF Champions League quarterfinal on Saturday (March 30).
The hosts are coming off a 1-0 victory over Club Africain in the Tunis Ligue Professionnelle 1. Rodrigo Rodrigues scored the winner in the eighth minute. ASEC, meanwhile, suffered a 1-0 defeat at San Pedro in the Ivorien Ligue 1. Guy Bedi's 77th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Les Jaunes et Noirs will turn their focus back to the continent. They booked their spot at this stage as runners-up in Group C with 11 points. ASEC, meanwhile, qualified as Group B winners with 11 points.

Tunis vs ASEC Prediction
Tunis welcome ASEC in fine form, having not lost since December. They also have home advantage, entering the game as the pre-game favourites, according to the bookmakers.
ASEC, by contrast, are out of sorts. Their current form is far from ideal for a side seeking to qualify for the CAF Champions League semifinal for the first time since 1996. They have scored just two goals in their last six games.
Expect the hosts to claim a routine victory and also keep a clean sheet.
Prediction: Tunis 2-0 ASEC
