As reported by SuperSport.com, Horoya AC are looking for some form of redemption when they host the South African side in Guinea. Horoya AC knows that a good win can at least see them replace AmaZulu in the third sport in the group.

Horoya AC squandered their chance to qualify when they were beaten by ES Setif in their previous game. Coach Lamine N'Diaye expressed his disappointment after the game with the team’s performance during the competition.

"The club has been playing in African competitions for ten years, it's not a problem of experience, it's simply a problem of talent and concentration."

AmaZulu will be hoping to end their debut season in the CAF Champions League on a high when they play Horoya AC in their final game. New coach, Brandon Truter, is hoping to turn things around at the club during his brief spell in charge.

“We have a very ambitious president and for the team to end it [the season] on a high note, we have to turn it around,” Truter said.

AmaZulu have bragging rights to play for

A win will see AmaZulu climb up to nine points, level with second-placed ES Setif. Sadly they have no chance of qualifying, as ES Setif beat them on the head to head, goal difference rule. Finishing third in their first season in the Champions League will be a big boost for the club though, as they seek to end their DStv Premiership run on a strong note as well.
