While Marumo Gallants may enjoy an advantage in the CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round with a 3-1 lead over Elgeco Plus, defender Lebogang Mabotja has warned that the match is far from over.
Gallants will host the Madagascan side at Peter Mokaba Stadium tomorrow at 3pm, looking to progress to the next round.
“We are expecting them to come out and attack us and that means they will open up a bit as they will come to us with everything because they are trailing,” Mabotja told Sowetan yesterday. After netting three away goals last week, Bahlabane Ba Ntwa are favorites to progress, but the full-back insists they won’t take the team for granted despite admitting that they are not a strong side.“On our side, we believe that we will go through since we saw how they played in the first leg,” he said.
“But the game of football is strange and if we can go there with the mentality that they are not strong, we can get a surprise. We have to go there and fight for a win to progress.”
