Marumo Gallants and Young Africans have announced their starting line-ups for this evening’s CAF Confederations Cup semi-finalsecond leg at Royal Bafokeng stadium.
It’s been seven days since Yanga beat Bahlabane Ba Ntwaa 2-0 in Tanzania thanks to two second-half goals, in a game where the South African side looked on top for large parts but was too wasteful in front of goal.
Gallants have a chance to make history for themselves this evening when they face Tanzanian champions, as they could qualify for their first-ever CAF competition final.
The 2021/22 Nedbank Cup finalists are also facing relegation in the DStv Premiership, which is something they will be keen to avoid on Saturday, but first they have a tough CAFCC second leg on their schedule.
They’ve had lot of off the issues in the current campaign, including a recent row around bonuses, which led to the players to strike on Tuesday before the club released a statement and stated those have been resolved.
This evening they will have to focus on matters on the pitch in order to overcome their 2-0 disadvantage.
Visitors Yanga, meanwhile, secured their domestic league title after winning the Ligi Kuu Bara with two games to spare.
They, too, have a huge chance to make it to their first continental final. With one foot into the final the Tanzanian side will have to fight without their forward Bernard Morrison, who is still not allowed to enter South Africa.
The Ghanaian will be a huge miss after he scored the crucial second goal at Benjamin Mkapa National stadium last week.
