TP Mazembe are on the brink of qualification for the CAF Champions League quarterfinals, needing three points in their home game against Pyramids. The hosts match into this game placed second in Group A while Pyramids are third. In this game, TP Mazembe will be in search of their third win, to hit 10 points. Their 1-0 loss away to Pyramids in November is still fresh and the Congolese giants will be seeking revenge. They warmed up for this game with a 5-1 win over Blessing in the Congolese league. That win extended their unbeaten run to eight matches, since losing to Pyramids. They have posted six wins in that run. In each of their last four matches they scored five or more goals. However, they managed just one clean sheet in those matches. In the Champions League, TP Mazembe are unbeaten in the last three games, keeping clean sheets in them.

Pyramids will come into this game seeking their second win in Group A after beating Mazembe in the reverse fixture. They’ve managed just one goal in their four matches so far, scored against TP Mazembe. A loss here will seriously dent their hopes of advancing and the Egyptians will want to be very cautious. In light of their previous away matches, this will be a tough encounter for them. They have failed to win any of their last eight matches on their travels. Ahmed Samy’s lone goal against Al Ittihad gave Pyramids a 1-0 win ahead of their journey to Kinshasa. They will hope to make it two straight wins when they take on the Congolese giants. However, their away form in the Champions League has really little to be positive about. In three straight away matches in the competition, they failed to score, losing one of them.
