Head coach of Black Starlets, Jimmy Cobblah has reiterated that their return league in the Africa Youth Championship qualifiers against Benin will be difficult.

The country's national U-17 side stunned Benin 3-1 in the first league and must protect their lead to make it to next year’s competition in Niger.

The two-time Africa Champions after missing out in the last edition of the competition are poised to make it this time around and must avoid defeat to Benin in the reverse fixture.

And the former Inter Allies trainer insists his side faces a daunting task to overcome their counterparts from Benin.

“It is not going to be easy at all, the second leg will be a difficult one because they will be motivated after scoring here in Ghana,” he told the media.

“They got a goal here which they will be counting on ahead of the second leg and so we must also do everything possible to prevent them from scoring there.

“I know they will open up over there because they will like to score more goals and we will also capitalize on that because I have sharp attackers.”

The Black Satellites arrived in Benin on Thursday ahead of the game.
