Mamelodi Sundowns are well-placed to win their second CAF Champions League title after defeating AS FAR Rabat 1-0 in the first leg.

Despite AS FAR's resilience and strong home record, Sundowns' dominance and recovered squad depth give them the edge. Predicted lineups feature a few key absences for both sides, but Sundowns' recent performance suggests they are favorites to lift the trophy.
