Ostriches target Coton scalp

The Ostriches face Coton Sport, in the return leg of the second round tie, with the overall winner moving to within 180minutes of the group stages. The match will be played in Gauroa, Cameroon tomorrow. The Ostriches carry a 2-1 first-leg lead and a draw will be enough to send Mogomotsi 'Teenage' Mpote's boys to the next round. The Ostriches will fancy their chances as Coton are an average side. The hosts have been in CAF competitions for years but on most occasions, they have hardly made an impact. The Ostriches looked sharp and solid at the back in the first round, although they conceded what could prove to be a decisive goal.

But jet lag could be a worry after the team endured long hours travelling to Cameroon. The long travelling hours might lead to fatigue among players. The other challenge for Orapa is that talisman Omaatla 'Dunga' Kebatho and key defender Thabang Mosige are out of the match due to suspension having accumulated two yellow cards. Coton will feel buoyed by the away goal, and a 1-0 will be enough to see them through to the group stages.
