Maghreb Fès aren't far behind on paper. Ten wins, six draws and four defeats from their own last 20, with 24 scored and 13 conceded. Their continental form has been sharp too, thumping Rahimo 4-1 before settling for a goalless draw in Fès. Domestically though, they've had some sloppy patches, including back-to-back losses to Wydad and Renaissance Berkane in June.

Neither side has been flawless. ASEC Mimosas were beaten 5-0 by Korhogo back in March, a reminder that their defence can be breached on a bad day.

Both teams arrive with solid recent numbers, but each has shown they can be exposed too.

Comparative Team Statistics: ASEC Mimosas vs Maghreb Fès

What might decide it

Both clubs have handled their most recent continental opponents reasonably well, which suggests a competitive edge on the biggest stage rather than teams cruising through weaker form. ASEC Mimosas managing a win and a draw against ASC Kara, and Maghreb Fès putting four past Rahimo before drawing away, both point to sides capable of controlling matches when things click.

The bigger uncertainty is time. This fixture is roughly a month on from the form we're looking at, so squad rotation, injuries picked up in the meantime, or a dip in rhythm could easily shift things before kickoff. Goals have generally outweighed clean sheets for both sides, and neither leaks heavily, so a tight, cagey affair wouldn't be a shock if both are wary of conceding first.
