This Saturday, the CAF Champions League semi-final will be held at Bibiani Dans Park in Ghana, where Bibiani Gold Stars will play against Algeria’s Kabylie. There are promising odds for a bet on goals in this match.
Match Preview
Bibiani Gold Stars achieved their first league title last season, finishing three points ahead of Heart of Lions. They ended the season unbeaten in their last four matches, winning three of them.
However, they lost the Ghana Super Cup to Asante Kotoko by a narrow margin of 0-1. The new Ghanaian league season is just underway, but the champions kicked off successfully, winning 2-1 against Bechem United at home.
On the other hand, Kabylie is traditionally a more successful club both in Algeria and across Africa. They have won 14 league titles, but their last victory dates back to 2008. Last season, they finished second, just two points behind MC Alger.
This season has not started well for Josef Zinnbauer’s team. After three matches, they find themselves in 14th place in Algeria’s top league, just one point above the relegation zone. They began the season with two draws and lost their most recent game to Oran, 0-2.
