Kumasi Asante Kotoko will this afternoon take on Libyan side, Al-Ittihad in the second-leg fifth round elimination series of the CAF Confederations Cup tournament.

Kotoko, 2:1 losers in the first leg in Tripoli, Libya a fortnight ago where poor officiating largely accounted for the outcome, have promised a convincing win to advance to the league stage of the competition.

The Porcupine Warriors who will be playing minus a couple of reliable players, have however assured their followers of soundly thrashing their north African opponents.

Defenders Samuel Inkoom and Harrison Afful as well as skipper Emmanuel Osei Kufuor are ruled out as a result of card offences, however the newly crowned premier league champions say their bench is rich enough overcome the challenge.

Trabelsi Aouaz from Tunisia and his compatriots Meloulchi Yamen and Hmila Anouar will be in charge of the game.
