Despite facing tough opposition, Gor Mahia captain Kenneth Muguna remains optimistic, saying, 'We've put the Champions League disappointment behind us and we expect nothing short of victories in both matches. It will be a difficult game, but we are determined to fight hard and qualify to the group stage again.'
