Written by Tosin Omojola Sunday, 12 June 2011

NIGERIA's flagbearers in this year's CAF Confederation Cup competition, Kaduna United FC and Sunshine Stars of Akure have the last hurdle to scale as they eye places in the group stage of the competition.

Both teams will be in action today with Kaduna United playing host to Entente Setif of Algeria while Sunshine will take on Al Ittihad of Libya in Ijebu-Ode.

Two weeks ago, Kaduna United lost 0-1 to the Algerians in the first leg match, thus will need two unreplied goals to qualify, a result which team's head coach, Maurice Cooreman believes his side will surely get.

In Ijebu-Ode, Sunshine Stars will have their hands full when they confront Champions League drop out, Al Ittihad in pairing that has been reduced to one leg due to the unrest in Libya which foced the cancellation of the first leg.

Sunshine skipper, Godfrey Oboabona said ahead of the match that the Akure based side will bank on the tips got from Enyimba who handed a 1-0 defeat to the Libyans to win the match and scale through to the group stage.

"We picked up some information when we went to Aba to play Enyimba recently and we are already working on that tactically. I believe our coaches will map out the right strategy to contain the Libyans.”
