TP Mazembe vs Young Africans Prediction: This game will end in favour of the home side

TP Mazembe will welcome the Tanzania-based football club, Young Africans, at the Stade du TP Mazembe Stadium on Saturday. Despite their internal struggles, the home team will be hopeful of securing passage to the next phase. At the same time, the guests will be poised to end their terrible run since the competition began. 

TP Mazembe (Congo)

The Ravens have not been themselves in this competition, as they suffered their first defeat in the group. TP Mazembe, despite their difficulty in arriving at their opponent’s stadium, went toe-to-toe with them but unfortunately lost the game at the dead end. TP Mazembe managed to equalise after conceding before the break; however, they failed to hold on as Al Hilal scored in the final seconds of the game. This was after their toothless stalemate against MC Alger in their opening match of the group. 

The Ravens, who found themselves in one of the most challenging situations this season after being banned by FIFA, will play this game without four key players. They have not been able to sign players this season, and few of their players have left. Regardless, they have managed to win four consecutive games in the league. 

TP Mazembe are a tough side on their ground, and you’d have to be at your best to even score against them. 

Young Africans (Tanzania)

The Yanga Boys have lost back-to-back games since this competition began and have proven that they’re not capable of competing in this group. They suffered their second defeat against MC Alger on the road, conceding twice. It was another bad day at the office for the most successful team in the Tanzania League, as they were outnumbered by their opponent. 

Young Africans occupy the last spot on the log, and a defeat here could end their dream of making it out of the group. 

Young Africans have not made their mark in this competition, with a group stage finish since 1998.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have won two games apiece over their previous four meetings. TP Mazembe are not the team they used to be but they’ll likely take advantage of their opponent, who lacks confidence at the moment. 

TP Mazembe have not been able to sign players this season, and they’ll have to utilise the resources they have just to make it out of the group. I expect their home supporters to rally around their players and with this, I hope they can be able to secure the maximum points here for 1.90.

I also think the hosts will get a goal before the break for 1.92.

This game will produce less than two goals for 1.60.

Good luck!
