Raja Casablanca wil have a huge advantage at home against Samartex 1996 in the second leg of the CAF Champions League play off.
The first leg last week at the Accra Sports Stadium ended 2-2 with the Moroccans returning as the happiest of the two.
Any win for any of the two clubs will send them through to the famous Money Zone.
Ghanaian clubs have suffered in Morocco as no one has won in the North African country since 1987 that Kotoko first traveled to Casablanca to face Wydad in the CAF Champions League.
Raja Casabalanca’s Bosnian head coach, Rusmir Cviko, after the first leg 2-2 draw in Accra sounded optimistic of a win over the Ghanaians in Morocco.
Nurudeen Amadu and his Samartex are very new and inexperienced at this stage as they have never been in North Africa before. They won 1-0 in Cameroon against Victoria United in the previous play off game and hence can take inspiration from it.
The last time Ghanaian club visited Morocco in the CAF Champions League was when Hearts of Oak was unforgettably mauled by Wydad Casablanca 6-1 in the second leg at the famous Mohammed IV Stadium.
Raja Casablanca looks the clear favourite because WAFU teams have been struggling recently in North Africa.
