Wydad Casablanca face Stella Abidjan on Saturday
Several top African teams will be battling to make it through their second round second leg matches to reach the next round of the Confederation Cup.

Money problems delayed the departure of Cameroonian sides PWD Bamenda and Sable Batie for their matches in Senegal and Madagascar, respectively.

Sable Batie, who hold a 4-1 lead over Leopards Transfoot of Madagascar, are also having problems paying their players' allowances.

Bamenda, who are level at 2-2 with Senegal's Douanes, were waiting to here from their officials who were in Yaounde looking for funds before they could leave the country.

Moroccan side FAR Rabat will be without a key striker Youssef Idrissi Kaddioui for their game against Club Africain in Tunis, that is evenly poised at 0-0 after the first leg.

Kaddioui is suspended for the Moroccan league leaders after collecting too many yellow cards.

The Tunisians however welcome back a key striker in Mohamed Selliti who missed the first-leg in Rabat due to injury.

South African side Santos have a slender lead over Ghana's King Faisal Babes when the sides play in Cape Town on Sunday, the first-leg finished 1-1 in Kumasi.

Nigeria's Enugu Rangers will entertain Etoile Guinea with the two clubs locked at 0-0 from the first-leg in Conakry.

The winners of the ties will go through to face the eight sides that lose in this weekend's African Champions League in another round of knockout matches before going into the group stages of the event.
