Green Eagles on Saturday attempt to join small band of Zambian clubs to have ousted North African opposition from continental competition. Eagles and Dey are locked at 0-0 from the first leg played at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka on December 15. A 1-1 draw will see Eagles advance on away goals rule while a scoreless result will see the match decided on post-match penalties. Very few Zambian clubs have enjoyed success against North African sides, and should Eagles do so, they will be only one of three local teams to have achieved that feat. Success in Algiers will see Eagles advance to January’s final pre-group round where they will be drawn against losers from this month’s CAF Champions League ties.
