Ghanaian outfit Medeama SC will be looking to secure passage to the round of 16 in the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday when they host Libyan giants Al Ittihad Tripoli at the Sekondi Stadium at Essipong.
The Yellow and Mauves went down 1-0 to their Libyan counterparts in the first leg encounter played in Tunis, Tunisia last Sunday in this round of 32 tie.
The MTN FA Cup champions will need to better that result on home soil to book a place in the next round of the competition and are hopeful of doing so.
Coach Tom Strand said after the first game that they are capable of overturning the result at home, and, will go into this game are perhaps the favourites taking into effect that narrow loss.
He concedes that the Libyans are a good side but not one they cannot defeat on Sunday. He will hope to count on the form of midfielders Malik Akowauh, Kwasi Donsu, Kwame Boahene, and Eric Kwakwa to dominate the game.
The striking duo of Dominic Eshun and Benjamin Bature will be counted on to provide the goals that could see them through to the next stage of the competition.
Medeama drew a bye in the preliminary round to reach this stage of the competition whilst the Libyans accounted for AS Sonidep of Niger 5-4 on aggregate to progress.
