by Sridhar in Caf Confederation Cup Predictions
Berkane’s two-goal lead from the first leg puts them in the driving seat as they aim to upstage Simba and win the 2024/25 CAF Confederation Cup. This is the second leg of the final to be played on Sunday at the Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar City with our match prediction of under 2.5 goals. The 2-0 win in the first leg has given the Moroccan side Berkane hopes of securing the title and making it three Confederation Cup wins, a record held by CS Sfaxien.
The hosts will look to halt that run as they aim to become the first Tanzanian club to win the continental trophy. Their home record speaks volumes, as Simba have already posted positive results against Egypt’s Al Masry and Algeria’s CS Constantine at home this season. A 2-0 win will take the game to extra time and beyond, while a draw is enough for Berkane to win the title.
With the battle lines drawn, who holds the edge? Will the home advantage count, or does continental experience tilt the balance for the visitors? Read further for our predictions.

Simba SC - Renaissance de Berkane: Form Analysis
The 2-0 defeat in the first leg stopped a four-match winning run for Simba in all competitions. The loss was dictated in the first 20 minutes of action as they conceded goals in the eighth and the 14th minutes.
Getting back to home conditions is their best ticket to make a comeback. Simba are unbeaten at home in their last 14 matches in all competitions, winning 13 and drawing one.
Simba won their last 11 home matches in this competition.
Berkane know that they are on the cusp of adding a third continental title, having won in 2020 and 2022. They will look to bank on their defensive strengths, having managed three clean sheets in their last four matches.
The Moroccans have also won five of their last six matches in this competition, and a draw would be enough to clinch the title. The lone defeat in that sequence came away from home, and Berkane have failed to win two of their last three trips in this competition, something they would be worried about.

Simba SC & Renaissance de Berkane Squad Analysis
Simba lined up in 4-3-3 fashion for the first leg, with Leonel Ateba playing in the middle and Denis Kibu manning the left flank. The duo are likely to be the core of their attack here, having aggregated seven goals between them in this year’s competition.
Jean Charles Ahoua could be vital with his supply of passes from the left, as he already has two assists and three goals to his name in this tournament.
Oussama Lamlioui scored four of Berkane’s last seven goals in this tournament.
Simba were caught out early in the first leg as their full-backs struggled to counter the pacey Berkane attackers. In fact, Berkane’s 5-4-1 system cut out space for Simba’s forward line while giving enough width for their midfield to control the play.
Lamlioui's form is crucial for Berkane's hopes of winning the title, although they have enough players chipping in with their own efforts. Paul Bassene and Issoufou Dayo also got four goals each to their name in this year’s Confederation Cup.
Simba SC - Renaissance de Berkane Key Points

Our Simba SC vs Renaissance de Berkane Prediction
Simba will have to overturn the 2-0 deficit from the first leg in Morocco if they want to edge out Berkane for the continental title. A two-goal win for the home team here will force extra time, while the visitors will look to hold on to a draw, which would be enough for them to win. This could be a tight game, purely because of Simba’s strong home record. Goals could once again be in short supply here, and our Simba SC vs Renaissance de Berkane prediction is under 2.5.
Simba SC vs Renaissance de Berkane - Other Interesting Predictions
Simba SC to win.

It’s their home record that could come to their rescue, as they have posted 11 consecutive wins in this competition on home soil. Berkane have also failed to score in two of their last three away matches in this continental competition, which could work to the home team’s advantage. Back Simba to win.
