Asswehly Misrata SC meet KVZ FC in the CAF Champions League first qualifying round, with a place in the next stage at stake. CheckLive have no favourite for this tie, which is an honest indication that the sides are closely matched. A draw is a live outcome and both teams will want to avoid defeat.
Asswehly's recent league form is strong: they beat Al Nasr SC Benghazi 5-4, drew with Al Ahli Tripoli, and then won 3-0 against Al Madina Tripoli SC, 3-1 against Olympic Azzawiya SC and 1-0 against Elettihad Almisraty SC. KVZ have had a mixed run, losing 0-2 to Tusker, 0-4 to Al-Hilal Omdurman and 0-2 to Rayon Sports FC in the CECAFA Clubs Cup before winning 3-1 against Mlandege FC and 2-1 against Zimamoto in the PBZ Premier League. The two sides therefore arrive in contrasting form.
There is no head-to-head history between the clubs, so this tie has no past meetings to guide either side. That makes it even harder to call. The key question is whether Asswehly's solid domestic form translates to continental football, and whether KVZ can shore up a defence that conceded eight goals in their three CECAFA defeats.
