Remo Stars owner Kunle Soname has admitted that trying to beat Medeama SC will be a daunting task due to the form of the Ghanaian side from last season.
The Nigerian club will play against the Tarkwa-based side on Sunday at the Cape Coast Stadium in the first leg of the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League in an exciting fixture between two debutants.
Medeama have been preparing for the much-anticipated fixture since being declared winners of the Ghana Premier League last season which granted them the right to represent the nation in the renowned competition.
While Soname points out inexperience as the weakness of his opponents compared to other top Ghanaian clubs like Kotoko and Hearts, he acknowledges their strengths admitting that his team can only focus on getting a good result and not necessarily getting a win.
“We didn’t make any special preparations for this game. We will just play our normal game.
“We will be arriving on Saturday with an airline which is a sponsor of our team. Arriving on Saturday will not affect us because the weather conditions are similar,” he told Akoma FM.
“We know the traditional clubs like Kotoko and Hearts but not so much about Medeama just aware they beat Hearts by 5-1 which is quite instructive and also know that they won the league by a 5-point margin.
“We can’t target beating Medeama in Ghana because we know it will be a tough game but all I can expect from my boys is to do well on Sunday.
Medeama will travel the following week to Nigeria for the second leg of the tie.
