GU, Galaxy in contrasting away CAF ties

Local champions, Jwaneng Galaxy and Gaborone United (GU) find themselves away from home this weekend as they seek advancement in the CAF inter-club competitions. The two teams face differing circumstances, as Galaxy are poised for progress while GU face a challenging task.

Galaxy are set to compete tomorrow in the second leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary round against Uganda's Vipers. Holding a solid yet vulnerable 2-0 lead from their home match, the league champions must navigate uncharted territory as they make their maiden appearance in Uganda. Departing by air on Wednesday, the team has had two days to acclimatise in the Eastern African nation. Ahead of the encounter, Vipers, known as the Venoms, are primed and prepared to strike with head coach Martin Neiva Leonardo cautioning Galaxy of their readiness.
