The CAF Confederation Cup group stage promises to deliver exciting matchups as CD Lunda Sol, RSB Berkane, Stade Malien, and Stellenbosch FC prepare to face off in one of the tournament’s most intriguing groups slated in the last weekend of the month of November this year.
Algeria’s RSB Berkane, a recent champion of the competition, will open their campaign at home against Angola’s CD Lunda Sol. Berkane, renowned for their solid defense and tactical discipline, are confident heading into the match. However, CD Lunda Sol, despite a disappointing domestic run, will be eager to prove their worth on the continental stage. Though they have struggled to find form in the Angolan league, the team is determined to turn their season around and match the North African side’s intensity. RSB Berkane, fueled by their home support and pedigree, know they cannot underestimate their opponents.
Meanwhile, in Bamako, Mali’s Stade Malien is gearing up to host South Africa’s Stellenbosch FC. Stade Malien, a dominant force in West African football, are looking to make a strong start in the competition, especially on their home turf. With a history of success in both domestic and continental competitions, they aim to use this match as a springboard for a deep run in the tournament. However, they will face stiff competition from Stellenbosch FC, a rising power in South African football. Stellenbosch, known for their youthful and energetic squad, will be making their debut in the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup. Despite the unfamiliar surroundings, the South African side is determined to make a statement.
Both home sides, RSB Berkane and Stade Malien, will be hoping to capitalize on the advantage of playing in front of their fans, but their opponents are coming prepared to challenge.
