Welcome to the live match of the CAF Confederations Cup against Al Hilal of Sudan and Asante Kotoko of Ghana at Al Hilal Stadium at 17:00 GMT.
The Ghanaian representatives must defy all odds and probably repeat their feat on the outside against the Cameroonian Coton Sport to obtain a favorable result.
Kotoko has not yet registered a defeat on the road so far in the competition. However, his impressive defense could be put to the test by Hilal, who leads a brilliant campaign in the local league.
Al Hilal does not seem to have an injury problem before the match, as defender Samawal Mergheni and midfielder Boubacar Diarra would be unavailable.
Most Kotoko players will make their debut in the CAF Confederation Cup group stage, with the exception of second-choice goalkeeper Muntari Tagoe, who was part of the Medeama team that has marked history in 2016.
Al Hilal, who seemed to regain his self-confidence before the shock, was part of the same group as Kotoko in the first edition of the Caf Confederations Cup in 2004. Hilal beat Kotoko 2-0 at home before losing 3-0. in the match. inverted luminaire.
Despite the intimidating atmosphere of his country, Hilal lost 2-1 to Merreikh El-Fasher last weekend in the local league. Kotoko could be inspired by it.
Elsewhere in Zambia, Zesco United will host its local rival, Nkana FC, in the other Group C match also on Sunday.
