Al Ahly SC head coach Marcel Koller says his team is confident of finishing the job at home in Cairo, when they take on Kenyan champions Gor Mahia in the return fixture of their CAF Champions League, second preliminary round match.
Koller, speaking to Telecomasia.net, says they will rely on their home support to ensure they win the match and keep their title defense hopes alive. The defending champions lead Gor 3-0 from the first leg played in Nairobi last weekend.
We finish at home and that gives us a bit of confidence because we are always strong at home. We want to finish the job well and give a good performance and result at home. Everyone in the team knows our goals and we will work towards them.

He believes that despite a 3-0 lead, Gor Mahia showed their high level and they will not underrate them. Percy Tau scored a double with Rami Rabia, leading the team to a 3-0 win in Nairobi.
No, the scoreline does not mean they are a weak team. We used our chances and made use of their mistakes. They are a good team and they showed with the manner they played. We have to respect them because in football anything can happen.
