CAF Champions League preview: Esperance v Asec Mimosas

It is a very big game for the Ivorians as they seek to continue their fine performance in this year’s CAF Champions League.

Asec Abidjan has a huge problem with their away performance being so poor.

They have lost 4 and drawn one in their last 5 games.

Asec has won just once in their last 6 games in all competitions.

Esperance are enjoying life at the moment as they have won their last 5 games in all competitions.

Esperance’s last defeat in their last 17 games came against Al Hilal in the 3-1 defeat in Tanzania in the group stage.

The Tunisians are playing at the top level now and hence Asec Mimosas must be fully prepared.
