Horoya has lost only two matches at home in this competition in as many as 34 fixtures winning 19 and 13 draws.

Guinean side Horoya Athletic Club is counting on their two home games against Raja Casablanca and Ugandan champions Vipers to progress to the knockout stage of the CAF Champions League.

The Guineans are second in Group C with four points from a win over Simba and a draw away to Vipers in Kampala.

Their coach Kanfory Lapé Bangoura hopes they can capitalise on their strong base for points in the remaining games.

“I think there’s no possibility of finishing in the first place. Raja now has a solid lead but we will do everything to keep 2nd place,” Banoura admitted.

“Let's pick our six points at home because we have two home games which we will put all the means to win them and then limit the damage on the road in Tanzania,” he adds.

Horoya has lost only two matches at home in this competition in as many as 34 fixtures winning 19 and 13 draws.

They host Raja on Tuesday evening.
