JS Kabylie will face off with AS Vita Club in the 2019/20 CAF Champions League Group D match on Friday.

Kick-off is at 18h00 CAT.

The encounter is scheduled to be played at the Stade du 1er Novembre 1954 in the Algerian city of Tizi Ouzou.

Kabylie are making their return to the group stage of the continental tournament which they have won two times.

The Algerian side has also won the CAF Cup three times, African Cup Winners’ Cup once and CAF Super Cup once.

They will look to their captain and midfielder Walid Bencherifa, who recently made his debut for the Algerian national team.

Meanwhile, Vita Club are also making their return to the group stage and they won this competition in 1973.

The DR Congolese giants came close to winning the CAF Confederation Cup last year, but they were defeated in the final.

Their dangerman is midfield maestro Nelson Munganga, who played a key role in helping the team reach last year’s Confederation Cup final.

Ahmad Heeralall from Mauritius will officiate the match between Kabylie and Vita Club.
