Adams' composure and technical ability have quickly made him one of the most important figures at Sundowns. As the Brazilians face the formidable Esprance, Adamswho has scored three goals in his last three games for club and countryis expected to have a huge influence on proceedings from midfield. Alongside Teboho Mokoena and Bathusi Aubaas, Adams is primed to make an impact in this crucial clash.

Stellenbosch FC may be the underdogs in their match-up against Zamalek, but Devin Titus is a player who could turn the tide in their favour, with 17 goal involvements under his belt this season.
