CHIEFS OUT TO OUST HOROYA – CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PREVIEW: HOROYA AC VS KAIZER CHIEFS

Horoya AC welcomes Kaizer Chiefs to the General Lansana Conte stadium today in the CAF champions league. With both teams locked on eight points each in Group C, this match represents a ‘winner takes all’ scenario with the victors set to qualify for the CAF Champions League knockout stage.

Whoever wins between Kaizer Chiefs and Horoya today will book a place in the quarter finals of the champions league irrespective of what happens between Wydad Casablanca and Petro de Luanda and therefore the onus is on the South African side to seize the initiative and take the game to the hosts.

The home side have a slight advantage as a goalless draw against The Glamour Boys will see them advance to the knockout phase of the competition. However, a score draw against the hosts will see Chiefs progress and that is because CAF uses head-to-head rule instead of the usual goal difference rule.

In view of this, Kaiser Chiefs will try to take the confidence they gained from perhaps their best performance in the group stages of the competition so far by beating Wydad Casablanca when they meet Horoya in Guinea later today.

Footydreamsgh Predictions:

In fact, Horoya were somewhat fortunate to come away with a draw in Johannesburg in February, where Nurkovic had a seemingly legitimate goal ruled offside. With so much at stake for both sides here, a cagey affair is expected.

WE SAY: HOROYA 2 – 1 KAISER CHIEFS
