Hearts of Oak drew goalless with Stade Malien in Bamako whilst A.S. Douanes drew 1 -1 with A.S. Dragon of Benin in Cotonou.
Last year, Hearts of Oak bundled out A. S Douanes on a 4-1 aggregate at the one-sixteenth stage of the same tournament after managing a narrow 1-0 win in Accra and following up with a massive 3-1 victory in Lome.
This time around A. Douanes are poised to avenge these defeats and Sunday offers them the rare opportunity to do that but trust Hearts to jealously guard its home invincibility to satisfy their teeming fans.
