Having started the group stage poorly, AS Otohô cannot afford any mistakes on November 29 at home against CR Belouizdad if they are to revive their chances of qualifying for the next round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
The Congolese representative began the competition badly, losing 1-0 to Stellenbosch in South Africa on November 23 in a match for the first matchday. It was a cruel defeat, having conceded the goal in the 90th minute+3.
