**MC Alger hosting Enugu Rangers in a do-or-die CAF Champions League rematch — except they're already down 2-0 from the first leg.** This is shaping up as a proper uphill battle. 🏔️
Enugu Rangers came to Algeria and absolutely **bullied MC Alger** in the first fixture, taking the 2-0 away win. The Nigerians have been rolling (3W from their last 5), while the hosts have crashed hard with just one win in their past five. MC Alger desperately need a miracle; Rangers just need to stay solid.
Key storylines:
- **MC Alger's attack** needs to spark early — **Z. Ferhat** and **O. Benhaoua** have to create or this tie's over before halftime
- **Enugu Rangers' defensive block** with **D. Itodo** and **A. Opara** has already proven it can smother the Algerian midfield
- Home crowd pressure is real, but Rangers showed zero fear in Lagos — this squad won't rattle easily
Expected lineups:
- **MC Alger**: A. Ramdane, M. Khelif, A. Abdellaoui, A. Menezla, Y. Gassi, M. Zougrana, M. Benkhemassa, C. Boukholda, O. Benhaoua, Z. Ferhat, Z. Naidji
- **Enugu Rangers International**: A. Ishola, D. Itodo, A. Opara, C. Iwundu, J. Odoh, K. A. Agu, A. Falolu, F. Temitope, J. Emo, G. Obaje, W. Adebayo
Prediction:
**MC Alger 1–1 Enugu Rangers** — The hosts claw one back at home, but it won't be enough. Rangers through. 🟢
