Stade Malien have touched down in Kumasi for the crucial second leg of their CAF Confederation Cup clash against Dreams FC.
Their arrival on Saturday afternoon
via a direct Air Force flight sets the stage for intense final preparations
ahead of Sunday's match at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Eager to bounce back from their 2-1
defeat in the first leg in Bamako, Stade Malien aim for a stronger showing
against the Ghanaians.
With the deficit to overturn, they
are poised to give their all to secure qualification to the next round.
On the other hand, Dreams FC are
determined to build on their previous victory and secure their spot in the
semi-finals for the first time.
Promising a much-improved
performance, they are ready to face the challenge head-on.
Meanwhile, Dreams FC have the
backing of former Ghana coach Charles Akonnor to win the trophy.
"Dreams FC are succeeding and
have brought pride to Ghana. How fearlessly and confidently they play is
something to behold," Akonnor said on Akoma FM
"I think they will win the
competition the way they are going. We must all lend them our support."
"We should all be proud of the
players for demonstrating soundness and unity, and we should support them to
reach the finals and possibly win the championship.
"I believe the players have
demonstrated some soundness in their play, as well as some understanding among
themselves, which is critical, so they have gone above and beyond what one
could expect."
