Wiliete SC arrive in Pretoria for decisive CAF Champions League clash against Sundowns

Angolan side Wiliete SC have arrived in Pretoria, South Africa, ahead of their CAF Champions League second-leg encounter against Mamelodi Sundowns on Friday, 23 October.

Wiliete travel to South Africa with everything still to play for after holding Sundowns to a goalless draw in the first leg in Angola.

The result leaves the tie finely balanced, with both teams needing a strong performance in the return fixture to secure progression to the next stage of the competition.

Wiliete will be hoping to build on their defensive display in the first meeting as they prepare for the challenge of facing one of southern Africa’s leading clubs on home soil.

Mamelodi Sundowns, meanwhile, will be eager to make their home advantage count after failing to find a breakthrough in Angola. The South African side will be expected to take the initiative, knowing that a victory would put them in a strong position to advance.

With the first leg producing no goals, the second encounter could be decided by small details, including defensive discipline, clinical finishing and the ability to capitalise on scoring opportunities.

For Wiliete, the task will be to remain organised while looking for opportunities to trouble their hosts and secure a positive result away from home.

The encounter on 23 October promises to be a crucial test for both sides, with a place in the next round of the CAF Champions League at stake.
