With contrasting runs in the competition, Rivers United have struggled, losing every game except for a draw with Power Dynamos, which ultimately led to their elimination.
The Nigerian side, however, will aim to end their campaign on a high by securing a win and restoring some pride.
In what is a bittersweet moment for Rivers, they are the first Nigerian club in seven years to reach the CAFCL group stages—a rare achievement that underscores the challenges Nigerian teams face in the competition.
On the other hand, RS Berkane are looking for a win to guarantee their progression into the quarter-finals after suffering defeats to Power Dynamos and an emphatic loss to Pyramids FC.
The stage is set for a dramatic conclusion as the top two teams from each group move on to the quarter-finals. With RS Berkane needing the three points, the match promises to be a decisive showdown.
