The matches of the fifth round of the group stage of the Champions League in Africa are starting to clear the dust today where one match of group A will be played in Algeria
The hosts MC Alger will host TP Mazembe in a game whose results will be closely followed by Yanga fans
TP Mazembe will officially say goodbye to this season's Champions League if they fail to win today while MC Alger if they don't win the game they will give Yanga a reprieve for the game against Al Hilal which will be played on Sunday
Considering the position of the group, MC Alger are in second place with 5 points, if they win against Mazembe they will reach 8 points and will have to make sure Yanga does not lose the game against Al Hilal in order to remain in the race for the ticket quarter final
If MC Alger draw against Mazembe today, it means Yanga will need to win the last game against MC Alger to reach the quarter finals regardless of the result of the game against Al Hilal
If TP Mazembe win against MC Alger today, it will be necessary for Yanga to collect 4 points from the remaining two matches to reach the quarter finals
Speaking to the media shortly before heading to Mauritania yesterday, Yanga Head Coach Sead Ramovic stressed that Yanga's goals are to ensure that they win both remaining matches to qualify for the quarter finals regardless of the results of their opponents
