GU primed for ‘war’ in DRC :: Mmegi Online

Gaborone United (GU) will take a six-hour flight to the Democratic Republic Congo (DRC) where a 'furious' AS Vita lie in wait. The two teams will face off in the second leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary round to be played at the Stade des Martyrs (Martyrs Stadium) on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds carry a slight 1-0 advantage from the first leg played in Gaborone on Sunday but their leap into the second round faces a tough test. There is a sense of trepidation within the GU camp following a squabble between the two sides in the first leg in Gaborone. AS Vita has reportedly filed a formal complaint to CAF after the team was denied a chance to train at the National Stadium a day before the match.

GU’s head coach, Benny Kgomela said his side will look to conclude their preparations in Gaborone to curb any plots of revenge from their opponents in Kinshasa. “We have prepared our boys that we might encounter problems that side. We are leaving on Friday and we will do all our preparations here at home so that when we get there we are left with just the final touches.
