- Vipers SC vs Jwaneng Galaxy
National Champions Vipers SC will be on a hunt for 3-0 victory or more as they take on Jwaneng Galaxy in the CAF Champions League Preliminary round.
The two sides will face off in a night football fiesta at St Mary’s Stadium, Kitende.
The Venoms suffered a 2-0 loss to Jwaneng Galaxy in the first leg and so they face a huge mountain ahead of today’s assignment.
Leonard Martins Neiva, Vipers head coach is confident that his troops can manage to fight and claim a comeback against Botswana’s side.
“We are very focused on the game and ready physically as well as technically for the game,” Neiva told Vipers media.
“We believe that we can come back for sure, we can do it if we work out a few points here and there,” he added.
“We need to play so offensively. We need to score and keep thinking about scoring as we ensure that no goal is conceded.”
Vipers managed to play in the CAF Champions League groups last season so they will fight to see that they keep their status intact.
The aggregate winner of the tie will face the victor between Orlando Pirates and Djabal FC in the final round.
