Algerian giant needs to win and reverse their 1-0 loss to Senegal’s AS Douanes later today at the Miloud Hadefi Stadium in Belgaïd, Oran, Algeria.
After losing 1-0 in the first leg of the second round of the Champions League qualifiers at the Stade Mamadou Konaté, Chabab Riadhi Belouizdad is aiming to overturn the deficit and advance to the group stages of the top-tier inter-club competition.
The Senegalese champions hosted the first match in Bamako, Mali, as they do not have a stadium meeting CAF requirements in Dakar.
They surprised the Algerian giants with a late goal, securing a shock win with Charles Pitriopia’s 84th-minute strike.
It is expected to be a close contest between the teams in the race for the Champions League group stage.
