Kenyan giants will host the Porcupine Warriors in the first leg of the CAF second-tier competition at the Kasarani Stadium.

The Reds landed in Nairobi on Wednesday and held their first training session after their arrival and a lunchtime meal.

Speaking ahead of the much-awaited clash, the former Hearts of Oak and AshantiGold SC gaffer seems to have done his homework on the Sharks.

"We are going to play a Kenyan club that is very confident and tough," the former Ghana international said.

"They score almost in every match are a threat but what is important at the moment is how we stop that and frustrate them. Of course, the clash will not be decided in Nairobi because there is another game we will host in Kumasi. We are just here to play one half."

Kariobangi Sharks head into the match on the back of three consecutive wins against Gor Mahia and Djibouti's Artar7.
