Saturday 4th December 2021: Nigerian football club and representative at the CAF Confederations Cup, Enyimba FC are set to take on Tunisian giants Al-ittihad in their second leg tier of the knock out stage of the competition.
Enyimba played their last competitive match on October 24 while Al-Ittihad started their 2021/22 league campaign with an away win over Abu Salim on November 22.
However, fears in some quarters say that the team’s rustiness might play a significant part in Sunday’s clash.
Last week, Enyimba travelled to Tunisia but the match, which was supposed to be the first leg of this encounter, had to be postponed because the Nigerian team did not get to the venue on time.
Former Eagles star and manager of the team, Finidi George is optimistic that the aba Millionaires should still have enough to get a good win that will put them in good stead for the return leg.
The people’s Elephant’s Current Form so far appears to be poasitive Enyimba [W-W-W-D-D]; Al-Ittihad [W-L-D-W-W] and the last time both teams met in 2011, Al-ittihad was defeated by 1- 0 scoreline.
