The Ravens will be appearing in a final-four clash in the competition for the first time since the 2018/19 edition, and it will also be their first time playing in the knockout stages against the Red Devils. Many did not consider the five-time champions as contenders for this season’s tournament. However, after becoming the first side to score against and beat Petro de Luanda in the Champions League, they are gaining attention. Mazembe midfielder Augustine Oladapo believes they can cause an upset against their more fancied semi-finalists Masandawana, the Club of the Century, and the Blood and Gold, and win their first CAFCL title since 2015.
“The way we’re going, we’re believing that something good can come out of it,” the 28-year-old told *Football Live Nigeria*. “We don’t have the best quality players like Sundowns, Al Ahly, Esperance. In our group, we had Sundowns and the likes. We were able to come out because it was like a dream.
For me, I see the hand of God moving us.”
