Wydad AC head coach Faouzi Benzarti has suggested Esperance de Tunis will beat Pitso Mosiamane s Al Ahly in the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League.
Benzarti has set his side up for a semi-final Champions League tie with Kaizer Chiefs after ousting Algerian giants MC Alger and he s now tipped his compatriots to eliminate the reigning champions.
The 71-year-old who won Africa s elite club competition with Taraji and lost in the 2018 final in controversial circumstances within the VAR debacle against them feels Ahly have not been convincing this season.

Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt bemoaned what he deemed were two harsh red cards from the Egyptian referee during their victory over Wydad Athletic Club.
Chiefs were reduced to 10 men before half-time when goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi was shown a straight red card for handling the ball outside the 18-year area during their 1-0 win over the Moroccan giants.
Amakhosi looked to have had the game under control, dominating possession and chance creation with minimal threat on Akpeyi s goal until the rather unfortunate incident.
However, Hunt defended the Nigerian international s blunder and further deplored the dishonestly of Wydad defender Amine Farhane, who contentiously forced a second yellow card for Samir Nurkovic in stoppage time.
