Be Forward Wanderers face a mammoth task Wednesday afternoon when hosting the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) giants, AS Vita, in the second-leg of Caf Champions League at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
With a battered reputation after a 4-0 loss in the DRC, Nomads head into the match as underdogs but anything can happen in football. Surely, the Nomads must forget the Kinshasa nightmare and focus on Wednesday\u2019s match.<\/p>\n
But they need to be brave and tactical against Vita; a side with vast experience in continental competitions.<\/p>\n
Wanderers Team Manager, Steve Madeira, is upbeat of causing one of the biggest comebacks in continental competitions.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing is impossible. We need to have self-belief that we can score more goals and progress to the next round. We have to press them hard so that we should overturn the tables,\u201d Madeira said.<\/p>\n
Wanderers must avoid conceding early if they are to have hopes of turning the tables in this afternoon\u2019s match.<\/p>\n
After Monday training session at the match venue, Vita Head Coach, Jean-Florent Ibenge, said the Nomads have no chance of overturning the tables.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do not see them qualifying because we are in Malawi to finish the job we started in [the] DRC last week. We will make life difficult for them,\u201d the former DRC coach said.<\/p>\n
Wanderers need to up their game for them to beat the visitors who are dangerous in the wings.<\/p>\n
In Wednesday\u2019s encounter, Captain Joseph Kamwendo, Alfred Manyozo Junior, Peter Wadabwa, Esau Kanyenda and Yamikani Chester carry the Nomads hopes.<\/p>\n
Wanderers have a full squad except defender Stanley Sanudi who was suspended for posting a video clip on social media.<\/p>\n
Vita will rely on Jean Marck Masuku, Jesus Muloko and Mukoko Batezadio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
