Ghana champions, Medeama are aware of the task ahead as they face Africa giants Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League on Friday.
The Yellow and Mauves will play host to the African giants at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi and has set sights on upsetting their opponent on home soil.
The two-time FA Cup winners suffered a 3-0 defeat in the first leg in Cairo last year. Medeama showcased a brilliant first half performance, holding Al Ahly to a goalless draw but ultimately fell short in the second half.
Medeama’s chances of advancing to the next stage of the competition hangs in the balance. A win for the Yellow and Mauves could boost their chances of securing quarterfinals berth.
Meanwhile, Al Ahly could progress to the next stage of the CAF’s elite competition if they beat the Ghanaian outfit.
But the Ghanaian champions are determined to upset the biggest club in Africa as they aim for victory in Kumasi.
The Tarkwa-based club has no major injury worries ahead of their crucial game and will head into the crucial game with a healthy squad.
Defender Nurudeen Abdulai, who missed a couple of games due to injury setbacks has returned to full training and will be available for selection.
The CAF Champions League was on a break due to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast but returns this weekend for the penultimate games at the group stage.
Medeama are bottom in Group D with 4 points and must play above themselves to progress to the next stage of the competition.
