South Africa’s SuperSport United interim coach Kaitano Tembo is wary of Kenyan giants Gor Mahia’s threat in the upcoming Confederation of African Football (CAF) Confederations cup two legged-play-off next month.
The two teams were paired together in the CAF second tier tournament after falling off the prestigious champions’ league tournament.
Gor Mahia will host SuperSport United between April 6 and 8, before the second leg is played in South Africa ten days later, with the winner booking a place in the Confederations Cup group stages.
United’s Coach knows the match against Gor Mahia will not be a walk in the park, and he admits so.
“It is not going to be easy against Gor Mahia in front of their own crowd because they are probably the best supported team in Kenya,” Coach Tembo was quoted by South Africa’s by Sowetan.
“We have reached the stage where we are playing some of the best teams on the continent because they won the league in their own countries last season. This is the case for us because Mahia won the league last season in Kenya,” he added.
Whereas Gor Mahia lead the Kenyan Premier (KPL) Table after playing six matches this season, SuperSport United is fighting relegation in South Africa’s top flight league.
The team is 14th on the 16th log table with 27 points after 24 matches.
