Simba SC Vs ASEC Mimosas: LEO Match Preview
Simba SC is gearing up for their inaugural match in the CAF Champions League group stage, set to take place at home against ASEC Mimosas this Saturday. Placed together in Group B alongside Wydad Casablanca and Jwaneng Galaxy, Simba SC, having reached the quarterfinals in the previous season, aspires to replicate or even surpass their performance this time around.
Their qualification for the group stages saw them triumph over Zambia’s Power Dynamos on the away goals rule, culminating in a 3-3 aggregate result. However, Simba SC is currently grappling with a challenging phase, managing just one victory in their last five matches. This dip in form has caused them to slip five points behind the top spot in their domestic league.
Following a 5-1 defeat by arch-rivals Yanga, Simba SC responded with a 1-1 draw against Namungo in their recent outing. Notably, in the 2021/22 Confederations Cup group stages, Simba secured a 3-1 victory against ASEC at home.

ASEC Mimosa is also facing a struggle, having not secured a win in three of their last four matches. In this period, they suffered two defeats, with the most recent loss being a 1-0 result at home against Racing d’Abidjan in the Ivorian Ligue 1, relinquishing their hold on the top spot. Their last appearance in the group stage of Africa’s premier club competition was in the 2018/19 season, and they ended a four-season hiatus by defeating Al Ahli Benghazi 2-1 on aggregate in the final qualifying round.
As ASEC Mimosas ventures into this match, their historical performance away from home in the Champions League presents a mixed record. With only three victories in their last ten away games and four losses, ASEC Mimosa is keen on improving their away form. In their previous encounter against Simba, they emerged victorious with a 3-0 scoreline at home. The upcoming clash between Simba SC and ASEC Mimosa promises to be a significant fixture as both teams aim to make a strong start in the CAF Champions League group stage.
