ES Setif (Alg) – Raja Casablanca (Mar) Match Preview

In this match of the African Champions league between ES Setif (Alg) and Raja Casablanca (Mar) I do not expect any fireworks. In the group B of the African Champions League, these two teams are first and second place. Both have won in the first round matches.

ES Setif is in 5th place in the league of Algeria. They are a tough team that plays fantastic defense. They have conceded only 8 goals so far and are the best defense in the league. But they also struggle in offense and they have scored only 17 goals so far in 17 rounds played in the league. After winning in the first round's match away from home against Horoya they would be more than satisfied with one point from this match.

Raja Casablanca is a good team but they are just not playing to the best of their abilities at the moment. They won only three matches in last ten in which they had played. In the Moroccan league they are in second place and have won eight points less than Wydad. They will also be satisfied not to lose in this match like the home side. After winning against AmaZulu 1:0 they are at the top of the group and will not risk much. 

In this match I doubt there will be many goals. Both teams after winning their first round's matches will tend more not to concede than to score. I believe that the possible result could be 0-0. The loss in this match would be a blow for both of these teams.
