The stage is set for the CAF Confederation group stage match between Zanaco FC and RS Berkane at Heroes stadium. The Moroccan side touched down at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport at 03:04 hours aboard Turkish Airlines.
The Oranges sit at the summit of Group B after a comfortable win over Benin side FC Esae in the opening match in Morocco. They come into this match with a run of 5 wins without losing any.
While the Bankers started their campaign with a draw in Congo against DC Motema Pembe, a Souleymanou first half goal was not enough to grab the three. Kalawole 78th minute goal ensured that spoils are shared.
Berkanes are yet to taste defeat this season in the Moroccan Botola Pro League, they have played five games, winning 4 and drawing one leaving them 4th on log 2 points adrift leaders despite having 2 games in hand.
Their away record has been impressive so far winning 3, losing one and drawing one. Madagascar Fosa Juniors is the only team to beat the Oranges away in the second round of the preliminaries. Omar Nemsaoui Ba Adama and Hamdi Laachir will pose threats on Zanaco’s defense.
