JS Kabylie will welcome AS FAR Rabat to the Hocine Aït Ahmed Stadium in Tizi-Ouzou this Saturday for Matchday 3 of the CAF Champions League, with both sides seeking to gain momentum in a tightly contested Group B.
Kick-off is set for 16:00 GMT, with live coverage available on beIN CONNECT MENA HD, beIN Sports MENA 1 HD, SuperSport Variety 4 HD, and Azam Sports Channel.
The two clubs have a limited head-to-head history, with JS Kabylie winning both of their previous encounters, including a 2-1 victory on October 24, 2021.
The Algerians boast a 3-1 goal advantage over their Moroccan opponents, underlining their dominance in this brief rivalry.
JS Kabylie are currently bottom of Group B with just one point from two matches, struggling for consistency in both domestic and continental competitions.
The Algerian side has managed only one win and one loss in their last five games, heightening the pressure to deliver a positive result at home.
AS FAR Rabat, occupying third place in the group with one point, face a similar situation.
The Moroccan side has also won and lost once in their last five matches and know that securing a positive outcome on the road is crucial to maintain their qualification hopes.
Analysts predict a tight contest, with both teams featuring strong defensive units that could limit goal-scoring opportunities.
While JS Kabylie will aim to leverage the support of their home crowd, AS FAR’s tactical discipline makes them a formidable opponent, suggesting that a low-scoring draw is a likely scenario.
This clash represents a pivotal moment for both clubs as they seek to stabilise their campaigns and reinforce their ambitions in Africa’s premier club competition.
