USM Alger have begun preparations for their CAF Super Cup final against Mamelodi Sundowns as the Algerian side step up their build-up to the November 8 encounter in Pretoria.
The two clubs will meet in South Africa with the continental title at stake, as USM Alger look to add another trophy to their collection and Sundowns seek to claim another major African honour.
The Algerian outfit have turned their attention to the final, with preparations focused on improving fitness, tactical organisation and team cohesion ahead of the trip to South Africa.
USM Alger will face a difficult challenge against a Sundowns side that has established itself as one of the continent’s leading clubs through its performances in African competitions.
The South African champions will also have the advantage of playing on home soil, with the Pretoria venue expected to provide familiar surroundings as they prepare for the showdown.
For USM Alger, the immediate task will be to ensure the squad is physically and tactically ready for the challenge, particularly against a team known for its possession-based approach and technical quality.
Both clubs will be targeting the trophy, with the Super Cup offering an opportunity to add another continental title to their respective histories.
USM Alger will hope their preparations translate into a strong performance in Pretoria as they attempt to deny Sundowns the opportunity to celebrate in front of their home supporters.
