Zambia Super League side, Green Eagles have left for Burundi ahead of the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round first leg encounter against Musongati FC Gitega.
The Kawale Boys left this morning aboard a chartered Zambia Airforce Cargo Plane. The Choma based side had a final training session in Zambia last evening at Barca Academy in Lusaka.
The two teams are high on morale as both are coming from recording victories in their domestic leagues. Green Eagles edged Kitwe United 1-0 in Choma while Musongati recorded an emphatic 3-0 win over Muzinga FC away from home.
The match will take place this weekend at the Stade Ingoma in Gitega before squaring off in the return leg which is set for Independence Stadium in Choma on December 4th.
The Aggrey Chiyangi coached outfit will be looking to go beyond the playoff stage they reached last season when they were eliminated by Moroccan side Hassania Union Sport d’Agadir 3-2 on aggregate.
Chiyangi will be banking on Anos Tembo together with the experienced Lineker Mwiikisa to get him the goals with Amity Shamende and Gozon Mutale as the creative minds following the departure of Spencer Sautu who joined Power Dynamos.
Come on Tonka twende boys. Good luck we behind you
