Why AFC Leopards coach is adamant new formula will make charges unstoppable against Gor Mahia
AFC Leopards coach Thomas Trucha has opened up about why he believes the charges he concocted off-season will totally be unstoppable against Gor Mahia this year.
“It does not make sense just to play, we should try to win because it will not be easy for us away. That is why we should play well here.”
Neiva is counting on Gor Mahia fans to give his team the much-needed lift as he feels a positive result at home will make their work less tedious when they travel to Cairo next weekend.
Gor Mahia have no injury concerns and welcomed back their players who featured for the national team, a boost to their preparations ahead of their tough mission.
The winner of the two-legged tie will make it to the lucrative group stages of the continental competition.
