Asante Kotoko travel to Mauritania to face Nouadhibou FC in their first leg of the Preliminary rounds of the CAF champions league Cup.
The Porcupine Warriors have had an exceptional time off the field after securing several sponsorships but on-field results are less impressive.
Maxwell Konadu and his team have drawn all two opening games in the Ghana premier league scoring two goals in the process. Kotoko has struggled to create chances upfront, a situation they must improve to have a better chance of progressing in the competition.
Meanwhile their opponents, FC Nouadhibou have recently been crowned champions in the Mauritanian Ligue 1.
They won the league with a five points gap between themselves and second-place Tevragh-Zeina, scoring 40 goals and conceded 17 in the process.
Nouadhibou earlier went on a 9-game winning streak before losing 1-0 to Kedia. Since the defeat, they returned to returned with two wins and a draw in their last three competitive appearances.
Team News:
In some team news, Asante Kotoko are set to be without skipper Felix Annan who picked up a knock in their last outing against Berekum Chelsea. Kwame Baah will replace him in post for the continental opener.
The winner of this tie will play one of Vipers FC from Uganda or Al Hilal Omdurman from Sudan.
