The last time the Black Angels tasted a defeat in this year’s Champions League was against Mauritania’s FC Nouadhibou away last October last year.
Since then Nabil Kouki’s side have done well in the continental competition and a victory on Friday will see them maintain top place on Group B.
Meanwhile, Raja Casablanca will be looking for their second consecutive Champions League Group B victory when they face ES Setif on Friday night in Setif.
The Green Eagles surprised South Africa’s Amazulu FC when they defeated them 1-0 in the opening Group A encounter at home last weekend.

Coach Mark Wilmots praised his side for their performance at home, but will expect nothing less than a victory and the collection of three points at home on Friday night.
Raja are the current holders of the CAF Confederation Cup and among the biggest teams on the continent, providing a baptism of fire for Setif.
