Pyramids FC have already booked their place in the CAF Champions League quarter-finals, while the race for the remaining spot in Group A goes down to the wire between RS Berkane and Power Dynamos.
The Egyptian side, defending champions of the tournament, have been dominant, amassing 13 points from four wins and a single draw, ensuring early qualification before the final round of group matches.
Second place, however, remains undecided.
Moroccan outfit RS Berkane and Zambian club Power Dynamos are level on seven points, each having secured two victories, one draw, and suffered two defeats.
Both clubs will have their fate determined on the final matchday.
RS Berkane appear to have a slight advantage as they host bottom-placed Rivers United, while Power Dynamos face a daunting task against already-qualified Pyramids FC.
“For RS Berkane, a win will guarantee progression,” tournament observers note. “However, a draw—or even a defeat—could suffice depending on Power Dynamos’ result, thanks to the tiebreaker rules.”
In the case that both RS Berkane and Power Dynamos end the group stage with the same number of points, qualification will be decided by head-to-head goal difference, a scenario currently favouring the Moroccan side.
Pyramids FC’s early qualification underscores their consistency in the group stage, but the final day promises drama as RS Berkane aim to maintain Morocco’s presence in the knockout rounds, while Power Dynamos look to overcome a tough away fixture to continue their campaign.
The outcome of Group A will be finalized this weekend, with fans closely following both matches as teams seek to secure a spot in the quarter-finals of Africa’s premier club competition.
