Ghana coach James Kwesi Appiah has backed his former club Asante Kotoko to come up tops in their upcoming Caf Champions League clash against Kano Pillars of Nigeria.
The Porcupine Warriors are set to take on Masu Gida in the preliminary first round, with the winners billed to face Hafia FC of Guinea or Tunisian club Etoile du Sahel in the next stage.
The first leg takes place in Nigeria on August 10, two weeks before the return fixture in Ghana.
“I think playing away against an opponent you don’t know much about is always good," Appiah told Kotoko Express App.
