La Colombe Sportive du Dja-et-Lobo will look to complete the job against Teungueth FC on Sunday when the teams meet in the second-leg of their second preliminary-round tie in the CAF Champions League.
The Cameroonian side won the first meeting 2-0 away from home and therefore hold a significant advantage ahead of the return fixture. They will aim to protect that lead and secure their place in the next round of the competition.
La Colombe Sportive are expected to retain the compact defensive structure that frustrated Teungueth FC in the opening leg. The Cameroon club is also likely to keep the key players who have made an impact during the early stages of its African campaign, including the attacking players who helped establish the advantage.
Probable Colombe Sportive line-up
Goalkeeper: Edouard Sombang
Defenders: Akoh Anjeh, Atsiga, Moubarak Katawiri, Michel Junior Mbeleck
Midfielders: Patrick Edzimbii, Randy Ntuwe, Arthur Yene, Jude Enow
Forwards: Steeve Lima, Adam Musah
The expected team suggests that Colombe Sportive will continue with a similar system to the one used in the first leg, combining defensive discipline with pace and threat in attack.
Teungueth FC seeking a turnaround
Teungueth FC must overturn a two-goal deficit if they are to keep their qualification hopes alive. The Senegalese club will rely on its collective strength and will be looking for a more effective performance in the return match.
Pape Dieng, Moustapha Gueye, Raphael Ndong and Ibrahima Aidara are among the players expected to play important roles for the visitors. Despite the disadvantage from the first leg, Teungueth FC will hope to produce a solid display and mount a challenge for a place in the next round.
