Hearts Of Lions HEART OF Lions will be attempting to eliminate Burkinabe champions Etoile Filante in a preliminary CAF Champions League game at the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium tomorrow.

Playing in their maiden African competition, the Kpando lads will be hoping to overturn a 0-2 loss in Ouagadougou a fortnight ago.

Paa Kwesi Fabin, head coach of the Kpando lads has begun strategizing for the big game as he has welcomed Black Satellites trio of Gladson Awako, Joseph Addo and Godfred Rockson to augment his side.

He is expected to use the 1-0 triumph over Wa All Stars in the mid week Glo Premiership game as a motivation to beat Etoile Filante convincingly.

He told the media that his outfit would defeat their opponents by a convincing margin.

Strikers Kofi Nti Boakye and Stephen Owusu are expected to lead the assault whilst Awako, Edmund Owusu-Ansah and Dan Yeboah anchor the midfield. Defenders Emmanuel Ansong, Rockson and Joseph Jackson are also expected to produce some steel at the rear with goalkeeper Addo providing cover in the post.

They have been a promising side in the last few years and most soccer pundits are hoping they will scale the hurdle.
