Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane/@Al Ahly

Tunisian midfielder Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane of Al Ahly is bracing for a fiery reception in Tunis as he faces Espérance de Tunis in the first leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-finals.

This African "clasico" is set for Sunday, February 14, at the Hamadi Agrebi Stadium in Radès, with kick-off at 21:00 GMT.

A product of the Espérance de Tunis academy, Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane is expected to face a particularly hostile atmosphere from the "blood and gold" supporters.

His decision to join Al Ahly SC, Espérance's historic continental rival, still doesn't sit well with some of the club’s faithful.

The 26-year-old midfielder played for the Tunisian capital club from 2018 to 2023, making 143 appearances across all competitions, netting 44 goals and providing 21 assists.
