Caf Champions League: Enyimba and Kano Pillars go for broke to stay in contention

The two teams representing Nigeria in the Caf Champions League, Enyimba and Kano Pillars take on Rahimo and Asante Kotoko respectively on Sunday.

While Enyimba have to upturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg in Ouagadougou, Pillars must do all they can to protect their slim 3-2 advantage secured at home in Kano.

Indeed, none of the two games involving the Nigerian teams looks easy as Sai Masu Gida will have to contend with the vociferous crowd expected at Baba Yara Stadium, Kumasi while Enyimba have been condemned to play behind-closed-doors, a development that has significantly reduced their home ground advantage.
