Kwara United Set to Face Asante Kotoko in CAF Confederation Cup Return Leg

Kwara United head coach Tunde Sanni is confident that his team will achieve a better result when they host Asante Kotoko this weekend in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round tie. The Nigerian team is looking to overturn a 4-3 deficit from the first leg, which was played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.

The Harmony Boys will need to win by a margin of at least 1-0 to advance to the next round of the competition. Coach Sanni believes that his team can achieve this feat, especially since they will be playing at home. “Our assumption was not what we met,” he said after the first leg. “They were a bit luckier today, but they will be coming to meet us at home.”

The second leg is scheduled to take place this Sunday at the Moshood Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta. Kwara United will be relying on their home advantage to overcome the deficit and progress to the next round. Asante Kotoko, on the other hand, will be looking to build on their first-leg win and secure a spot in the next round.

The CAF Confederation Cup is an annual club football competition organized by the Confederation of African Football. The competition features teams from across the continent, with the winner earning a spot in the CAF Super Cup. Kwara United’s participation in the competition is a significant milestone for the team, and they will be looking to make a strong impression in front of their home fans.

With the return leg just days away, Coach Sanni and his team are focused on preparing for the challenge ahead. They will need to be at their best to overcome the deficit and advance to the next round. The match is expected to be closely contested, with both teams giving their all to achieve victory. The outcome of the game will determine which team progresses to the next round of the competition.
