The fourth matchday of the CAF Champions League group stage is shaping up to be decisive in the race for a spot in the quarter-finals.

While RS Berkane (Morocco) and Pyramids FC (Egypt) have taken a strong lead in Group A, the other major teams are feeling the pressure and will need to deliver a positive result to avoid a tricky situation heading into the final two matchdays.

Here are the three fixtures to watch on matchday 4:

Simba SC vs Espérance de Tunis

Backs against the wall, the Tanzanian side must secure all three points to revive their hopes in this CAF Champions League group stage. Their task won’t be easy against a Tunisian team that has yet to lose a single match in this 2025-2026 campaign.

Young Africans vs Al Ahly

The Tanzanian club is aiming for a historic victory against the record titleholder in this competition, which would put them one step closer to the quarter-finals. On the other side, the Cairo giants seem determined to go all out for the win, which would secure their place in the next round.

Al Hilal vs Sundowns

The Sudanese side will look to maintain their impressive form by grabbing all three points against a South African team renowned for their lightning-quick transitions.
