Mamelodi Sundowns will be seeking to secure victory as they face Cameroon’s outfit Lekie in their second Group A game on Wednesday.
The Banyana Ba Style were held to a goalless draw in the opening game against hosts FC Masar and thus find themselves in a must-win situation ahead of today’s encounter.
Coach Godfrey Sapula is aware of what is at stake and believes his charges will need to step up their efforts.
“We are ready for this game, and the target is to earn three points, but that can only come if we improve from the performance we had in the first game, and that is what we have been working on,” he said.
Mamelodi Sundowns will need to heavily bank on the experienced players like goalkeeper Andile Dlamini, Lebohang Ramalepe and Bambanani Mbane among others.
Lekie, on the other side, will equally be targeting all three points, having played out a goalless draw in their first game against FUS Rabat.
In the other Group A game to be played today at 6 PM EAT, FC Masar from Egypt will take on Morocco’s FUS Rabat in an all-North African affair.
