The matchday four encounter was initially scheduled for Wednesday but the game was postponed due to visa issues that affected the Congolese club.
The Stanley Eguma-led side will be heading into the tie at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo off the back of two consecutive wins in Group B, including a 1-0 win over Les Immacules in the first leg in Luanda last month.
The Pride of Rivers are second in the group with six points from three matches, a point behind leaders ASEC Mimosas of Cote d’Ivoire who have played a game more, while Motema Pembe are bottom of the standings on two points.
