Raja Casablanca caretaker coach Abdel Sadek is reportedly set to make a bold decision for their CAF Champions League clash against Mamelodi Sundowns.

The Moroccan giants remain without a win in the Champions League group stages, which has left side bottom of Group B without after three matches.

Raja will come up against Sundowns on Saturday afternoon, just a couple weeks after losing to the South African champions in Pretoria.

Since the defeat in Pretoria, Raja have parted ways with Portuguese coach Ricardo Sa Pinto following a string of poor results, leaving Sadek in charge until a new coach is found.

According to Koora, Sadek is planning to recall goalkeeper Anas Zniti for Saturday’s clash after he was dropped for the last two games.

The veteran goalkeeper faced a lot of criticism for his performances earlier this month, but second choice shot-stopper Mehdi El Harrar did not fare any better after conceding four goals in the last two matches.
