Ghana's Hearts of Oak are optimistic of their chances ahead of their game against AC Djoliba.
A 27-member delegation arrived in Bamako on Wednesday afternoon having left Accra by air for the CAF Confederation Cup tie.
Hearts coach Herbert Addo is hoping to record a favourable away result to make the second leg in Ghana a mere formality. “We did it in Senegal against our last opponents Olympique de Ngor so going away to Mali does not mean we can’t win,” he told Joy Sports.
“We are very hopeful of a good result in Mali and my players are well aware of what is at stake especially when you play away in tournaments of this nature.
“Our form has been consistent and that makes me happy, we are not under any pressure and I know we can come home with a good result which obviously will make the second leg a mere formality.”
The Accra-based club is now the only remaining local side in Africa this season following the early elimination of Asante Kotoko from the Caf Champions League.
“We have a huge task ahead of us knowing very well that we are the only remaining Ghanaian side but that does not put pressure on us,” he added.
Hearts won the maiden edition of the competition in 2004 when they defeated arch rivals Asante Kotoko 8-7 on penalties after the two legs ended 2-2.
