With one match left in the group stage, Edo Queens must secure at least a draw against Sundowns on Saturday at Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca to keep their semifinal dreams alive. A loss, however, could send them out of the tournament, depending on the outcome of Masar’s match against CBE.

Edo Queens’ head coach, Moses Aduku, is aware of the stakes and knows his team must deliver their best performance to ensure progression. Meanwhile, Sundowns are motivated by their 4-0 victory over CBE, coming off a surprising defeat to Masar in their opening match
