Published on August 25, 2019, Gor Mahia head coach Steven Pollack has expressed confidence in his team's readiness to face Aigle Noir of Burundi in the CAF Champions League preliminary round return leg match at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.
The two teams played to a barren draw in the first leg match played two weeks ago in Burundi, and a win for Gor Mahia this afternoon will see them progress to the next round of the competition.
Despite having a lean squad, with only 16 players registered for the preliminary rounds of the Champions League, coach Pollack is optimistic about beating the Burundian side.
Aigle Noir, led by coach Joslin Bipfubusa, held their final training session at the match venue last evening and also expressed optimism ahead of the encounter.
The winner of the match will face the aggregate winner between Algerian side USM Alger and SONIDEP from Niger in the second round.
