OC Safi head coach Zakaria Aboub: We are determined to qualify as group leaders
The Sharks have already secured their place in the knockout rounds in second place in Group A with 12 points from five games.
Both third placed San Pedro and Djoliba in fourth have already been eliminated from the competition with one group game to go, on three and one point respectively.
A win in their final clash with current group leaders USM Alger, on 13 points, at the July 5 Stadium on Saturday would be enough to propel them into first position.
Speaking ahead of the game, a confident Aboub told Hesport: "There are no formalities in football. We must always strive to be at our best to do Moroccan football proud.
"It's true that when you've already qualified, the pressure is less, but all the players know that we are determined to win and qualify for the quarterfinals as group leaders.
"I hope we will perform at the required level against USM Alger.
"Our goal is to go far in the competition to honor the city of Safi and this historic club. Moroccan clubs always aim to win continental titles, and that's what we strive for at Olympique Safi."
