From what I have seen, that game has been a big motivation to the players. They have come up more positively because they are bitter after being beaten at home. When we go to their turf we have to go all out and we have to have a plan which we have been working on as a team,” he added.⚽️| Final training session at home today ahead of tomorrow’s travel to Alexandria, Egypt.#KenyaMilele #Brewers4Life pic.twitter.com/hp1Cu66Nri— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) October 18, 2021 A group stage spot in the competition is at stake for the overall winner, with the loser in the tie having a chance to feature in the CAF Confederation Cup.Tusker jetted out in the wee hours of Tuesday en route to Cairo, where they will then take a bus to Alexandria, the match venue.The game will be played at the Borg El Arab Stadium on Friday at 8 PM EAT.
