There is a high possibility that Yanga will face Ethiopia's CBE in the game of seeking a ticket for the group stage of the Champions League if the team defends the away victory they got against SC Villa of Uganda in the first round game
CBE are the champions of the Ethiopian Premier League, winning the championship last season for the first time and booking a ticket to the Champions League. They beat SC Villa 2-1 in Uganda
Also for Yanga, after a 4-0 victory in the first leg game played at Azam Complex last Saturday, Coach Miguel Gamondi gave his players a day's rest
Speaking after the game, Gamondi said despite the great victory, his team has not qualified for the next stage until they beat Vital'o
"We haven't qualified yet, these are the first 90 minutes, who knows what will happen in the second leg, we will rest for a day after that we will get back to preparing for the match," said Gamondi
In the return game, Yanga only needs a win or a draw to advance to the next stage and if SC Villa fail to overturn the away result, needing to win from 2-0, they will give Commercial Bank of Ethiopia a chance to advance and face Yanga
The good news for Yanga is that the challenges faced by CBE are no different from the challenges faced by Vital'o, as those teams do not play their home matches in their countries because they do not have stadiums that meet CAF criteria
