RS Berkane Coach Mounie Chaabani

Moroccan Side Eyes Positive Result in Group A CAF Champions League Encounter in Uyo.

RS Berkane head coach Mounie Chaabani has expressed confidence that his team is ready for a challenging CAF Champions League clash against Rivers United. The Group A match takes place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Friday.

The Moroccan side started the group stage strongly, securing a 3-0 win over Zambia’s Power Dynamos on matchday one. However, Chaabani is aware that the Port Harcourt club presents a stern challenge.

“Against Power Dynamos, we showed discipline and focus and were able to score the goals that we needed to start the group stage on a good note. We are happy about that,” Chaabani told CAFonline.

He added:

“Tomorrow against Rivers United, it will be difficult because they are a disciplined team as well, from what they were able to show in holding the champions (Pyramids) to a scoreless first half last week. We will not underrate them at all. Our goal is to play our game and get a result here. It will be difficult but not impossible.”

Chaabani’s remarks underline RS Berkane’s determination to maintain momentum in the CAF Champions League while respecting the quality of their Nigerian opponents. Fans can expect a high-stakes and competitive encounter as both teams aim to strengthen their position in Group A.
