In the six matches of the group stage of the competition, Yanga has scored nine goals, averaging 1.5 goals per game, and failed to score in only two matches, while its defense has performed poorly by conceding six goals, averaging one goal per game.
Mamelodi Sundowns:
Mamelodi seems to have better statistics, especially in defense, having conceded only one goal in the group stage matches, but its attacking line has scored six goals, averaging one goal per game in each match played.
The impressive statistics that Mamelodi Sundowns have in international competitions when they are at home force the Yanga players to ensure they fight for victory today.

Since losing 2-0 at home to CR Belouizdad on April 9, 2021, Mamelodi has not lost another match in those competitions when playing in South Africa, with 12 wins and four draws in the following 16 matches.
The match will be officiated by all six referees from Egypt, with Amin Mohamed as the central referee assisted by Mahmoud Ahmed and Ahmed Hossam, while Mahmoud Ashor and Mahmoud Elbana will be in the video assistant referee technology room.
Referee Amin is well remembered in the country as he officiated the last group stage match of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) between the Tanzanian national team ‘Taifa Stars’ and the DR Congo national team, which ended in a goalless draw.
