Bidvest Wits will be aiming to keep their 2019-20 Total CAF Confederation Cup hopes alive when they face Horoya AC at Stade du 28 Septembre in Conakry on Sunday.

Kick-off is at 6:00pm CAT (GMT+2).

The Clever Boys occupy bottom spot in Group C after four rounds of fixtures, having yet to win a game.

In contrast, Horoya have yet to lose a game and sit at the summit of the group having yet to concede a goal.

With a home match against Djoliba to follow their trip to the Guinean giants, Wits still harbour slim hopes of reaching the knockout stages of this season’s competition and can duly ill-afford anything but a win this weekend.

Horoya currently occupy third place in Guinea’s Ligue 1 while Bidvest Wits sit in fourth spot in South Africa’s Absa Premiership standings.

The two teams played to a goalless draw when they locked horns at Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto late last year.
