To bolster his chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Caf Confederation Cup, Charles' CK & # 39; Akonnor, coach of Asante Kotoko, said his team is preparing to win at least one point in Sunday's group stage with Zambia's Nkana FC.
Back in the "currency zone" of the continental championship for the first time since 2008, the Porcupine Warriors hope to finish in the top two to qualify for the next round.
Their fortunes are not so bad as they are currently tied with the other three teams in Group C, having lost a match and won the other of the two matches played so far.

"Looking at the strength of the four teams in the group, winning only your home games would not be enough to ensure qualifying, so you have to take at least one point outside, so let's see what happens," he said. Akunnor said.
"It's a fact that if we want to move to the next stage of the competition, we have to pick a point in Nkana.
"At the camp, the motivation is high. Players already know what's at stake. It's their time and time when they want to make a name for themselves.

"I'm also motivated because it's another level for me and my coaching career."
Kotoko opened his campaign in the group stage with a 1-0 defeat away from Sudanese Al Hilal Omdurman, before beating Zesco United of Zambia 2-1 in Kumasi last week to regain the victory.
The Kumasi-based team hopes to improve its second place in the 2004 edition.
