Rivers United Will Defeat Rayon, Says Coach Stanley Eguma

Coach of Rivers United, Stanley Eguma is positive his team will secure a positive result against Rwanda's Rayon Sport in the first leg play-offs of the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday in Port Harcourt.

Rivers United were knocked out of the CAF Champions League by El Merreikh of Sudan 4-3 aggregate and dropped down to the Confederation Cup.

He said “We are really preparing for the game against Rayon Sports and at this stage we need good results with a good number of goals as well, we need to win, especially at home. Also, we need to make our fans especially the Governor happy because he has done so much to make sure we excel, and we hope to justify that this weekend. I know Rayon Sport is a very strong, young and energetic team; they have a lot of youthful players and can cause an upset but I know my boys will do the needful on that day.”

The return leg will take place on Saturday, 22 April in Kigali.
