Gerald Guther backs African Stars to overturn CAF Champions League deficit against Orlando Pirates

The Namibian Premiership side are trailing their Betway Premiership counterparts 1-0 from the first leg held at the Botswana National Stadium last weekend.

Only a victory will see them through to the group stages and Guther insists his team are well prepared to face the might of the South African champions.

"I think it will be a great moment for everyone, and I think, like my captain said, the guys are going to be hyped for the situation, the Friday night lights. We're looking forward to it," he said on iDiski Times.

"I don't think there needs to be mental preparation. The guys know what kind of atmosphere is here in this particular stadium and for that they're prepared."

"We have to come in here with confidence. We can't walk in here and be intimidated by the opponents. We do respect them 100%, but we can't show any type of fear – they are an extremely well-organised and trained team," added the head coach.

Guther has only been i charge of African Stars for a little over a month but has high hopes of overturning their narrow deficit.

"We trained very hard and worked a lot on our play, how we'll set up, so I do fancy our chances. We just have to come out here and leave everything on the field," he said.
