Hearts of Oak coach Kosta Papic believes that Asante Kotoko face a tough challenge in their bid to beat Al Hilal of Sudan to qualification to the Caf Champions League group stage.
The two teams are set to face off in a first round second leg fixture in Omdurman on Wednesday, the first leg having ended in a 1-0 triumph for visiting Hilal in Accra.
"It is very difficult to play football in Sudan because I’ve played against them [Hilal]," Papic, who has previously worked with a host of African giants including Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, Young Africans and Enyimba, told Kumasi FM.
