Kwara United head coach Tunde Sanni is confident that his team can secure a better result when they host Asante Kotoko this weekend in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round. The Nigerian side entered the match trailing 4‑3 after the first leg, which was played at Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday. To advance, the Harmony Boys need to win by at least a 1‑0 margin on their home ground.
Speaking after the first leg, Sanni acknowledged that the result did not reflect his expectations. “Our assumption was not what we met,” he said. “They were a bit luckier today, but they will be coming to meet us at home.” The return fixture is set for Sunday at the Moshood Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta, where Kwara United will rely on home advantage to overturn the deficit.
Asante Kotoko, meanwhile, will look to build on their first‑leg victory and secure progression to the next round. The CAF Confederation Cup, an annual club competition organized by the Confederation of African Football, pits teams from across the continent against each other, with the winner earning a place in the CAF Super Cup.
Kwara United’s participation marks a significant milestone for the club, and they are eager to make a strong impression in front of their supporters. With the return leg just days away, Coach Sanni and his players are focused on preparation, knowing they must perform at their best to overcome the deficit. The match is expected to be closely contested, and the outcome will determine which team moves on to the next stage of the competition.
