Petro de Luanda, leader with six points, tomorrow visits Espérance de Tunis, from Tunisia, (3rd/3 pts.), at the El Menzah Stadium, in a game related to the third round of group C of the Champions Clubs League, at 8 p.m. In history, the two teams have already faced each other on two occasions in 1997.
In the first leg of the final of the then CAF League, the Tricolores won by a goal to zero in the Angolan capital.
In the response challenge, the Tunisians achieved a 2-0 victory, a result that allowed the Maghreb team to become champions of the competition.
Despite playing the third clash between the two in the opponent’s stronghold, the Catetão club has an obligation to justify its leadership of the series on a very difficult terrain.
To do this, coach Alexandre Santos will choose a team that can argue for victory so that at least they can leave the city of Tunis with one point under their belt.
In turn, the home team knows that it is imperative to forget the defeat once morest Al Hilal from Sudan, in order to defeat the Angolan champions.
Still, the task will not be easy for Mohamed Ben Nour’s men, who entered this competition as title candidates. At the opening of the round, Étoile du Sahel, from Tunisia, will host Al Hilal from Sudan today, at the Olympique Stadium in Sousse, starting at 8 pm.
