Winning the first leg in Angola 3-2 puts Dreams FC in a favourable position, and they will be looking to establish their authority over Academica do Lobito in the return leg at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Currently sitting third on the league log with six points, Dreams FC faces competition from Club Africain and Rivers United, who are also on six points. The significance of goal difference makes the group interesting and opens up for any of the three teams to pick a slot for the next stage of the competition.

As they aim to secure a positive result in the upcoming match, Dreams FC will likely be eyeing not only victory but also a performance that helps improve their goal difference.

Their last defeat highlights the challenging situation in which Academica do Lobito find themselves. With no point after three matches, it positions them at the bottom of the group, making them vulnerable to being perceived as the underdogs.

For Dreams FC, the match presents an opportunity to capitalize on their previous victory in the first leg and further solidify their standing in the group.

 With Academica do Lobito struggling to secure points in the competition, Dreams FC will likely be determined to add to their opponents' difficulties and strengthen their own position.
