Kaizer Chiefs will hope their underdog stature and the fact that Wydad Casablanca may not expect much from the Caf Champions League group stage rookies can work in their favour in their match-up in Ouagadougou‚ Burkina Faso on Sunday.

Chiefs‚ after the Moroccan authorities denied them visas over Covid-19 concerns for the fixture originally scheduled for February 13‚ meet Wydad at Stade du 4 Aout in the Burkina Faso capital. Amakhosi will hope for an upset win that would get them back into the fray in Group C after a disappointing start of a 1-1 draw at home against Guinea’s Horoya.

Chiefs’ veteran goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune‚ who has knowledge of the neutral venue having played there in Bafana Bafana’s 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw there in October 2016‚ said Amakhosi need to play for a win on Sunday. “I’ve been to Burkina Faso before with Bafana Bafana‚ and we managed to draw the match. So I will help the guys to acclimatise well‚ and to know what to expect in Ouagadougou.

“I think the spirit is there‚ everyone is eager‚ because we didn’t get the maximum points in the first game we played of the group stage‚” Akumu said.
