On September 25, 2019, Bandari FC's coach Francis Mwalala announced that his team would adopt a defensive approach against US Ben Guerdane in their CAF Confederation Cup return leg match.
With a 2-0 lead from the first leg, Mwalala emphasized the importance of defending their advantage, stating, 'Our big assignment will be to defend our two goals and if we get one more it will be job done.'
Bandari FC has been training on goal-scoring, resulting in six goals in their last three matches, with Mwalala expressing hope that they will score again.
The Kenyan Premier League club will face US Ben Guerdane in Tunisia, having beaten them 2-0 at Kasarani Stadium two weeks prior.
Bandari FC has received a boost with the return of Abdallah Hassan, who missed their previous match due to a teeth problem, but will still be without Mohammed 'Messi' Katana, Sosthenes Idah, and keeper Justin Ndikumana, who have not been cleared by CAF.
