AS FAR Rabat star Larbi Naji has issued a warning to Mamelodi Sundowns ahead of their crucial CAF Champions League clash this Saturday at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
Sundowns must secure a win or a draw to guarantee their place in the next stage of the competition.
While FAR Rabat have already qualified for the quarterfinals, they are determined to finish atop the group. The two sides previously drew 1-1 in their first encounter in Morocco.
Naji has expressed confidence that his side can return to South Africa and claim maximum points, solidifying their position as group winners.
NAJI SAYS THEY ARE HOPING FOR WIN AGAINST SUNDOWNS
“After achieving the most important thing, which is qualification, the next challenge is to return with a result that supports our lead from South Africa,” Naji told Kooora as quoted by Soccer Laduma.
“Raja has chances and hope that it will fight for, and we will face Sundowns to stay in the lead, because that serves our interests for the rest of the journey.”
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates, the other South African representatives in the Champions League, have already secured their place in the quarterfinals with a match to spare.
Their final group stage encounter will be against Al Ahly on Saturday, 18 January.
