Fresh from picking a 3-1 win against Tunisia’s Esperance Sportive de Tunis, Sudan’s Al-Hilal will be all out to try and collect more points when they face Group C bottom placed ES Sahel in Tunisia.

Tanzania Premier League reigning champions Young Africans SC will also be in Group D action away to Medeama FC at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.

After losing their opening match 3-0 away to CR Belouizdad and picking a 1-1 draw against African giants Al Ahly last weekend, Young Africans SC who are bottom of the log with one point will be all out to try and pick maximum points.

On Saturday Simba SC will return to action in a Group C match away to bottom placed Wydad AC. Simba SC, quarter finalists last season will welcome newly appointed coach  Abdelhak Benchikha on the bench when they play away in Morocco.
