Gor Mahia coach Steven Pollack expects a tough match against Aigle Noir Makamba in a preliminary round CAF Champions League return leg at Kasarani on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\n two teams played to a barren draw in the first leg but Pollack has \nbacked his forwards to carry their scoring boots to the Moi \nInternational Sports Centre for Sunday’s game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gor\n Mahia have struggled to find the back of the net since dependable \nstriker Jacques Tuyisenge left for Angolan giants Petro Atletico de \nLuanda last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur opponents \n(Aigle Noir) are a very physical side and they work very hard. I know \nthey will make it very difficult side for us but I don\u2019t like to focus \non the opponents so much before the game but my team. I want to assure \nour fans that we will give it our best shot and hopefully emerge as \nwinners. The final result is important but we must always entertain the \nfans. My job is to ensure that happens,” said a confident Pollack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
K\u2019Ogalo<\/em>\n bought two foreign strikers with the windfall from Tuyisenge\u2019s sale \u2013 \nIvorian Gislein Yikpe and Ghanaian Francis Afriyie. Yikpe is still \nnursing a thigh strain and therefore yet to feature for the club while \nAfriyie was not impressive against Bandari in the traditional season \nopener, the Super Cup. Dennis Oliech has not been training with the team\n leaving Nicholas Kipikirui as the only dependable striker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLack\n of quality strikers is not a Kenyan problem, I faced the same in other \ncountries I have coached. I don\u2019t know what happens to them (forwards) \nwhen they get to the final third. You need to have finesse as a striker \nand that is something most of them struggle with. However, my strikers \nhave been impressive in training this week and especially today they \nscored a lot of goals in training and I expect the same to be replicated\n on Sunday,\u201d noted Pollack. <\/p>\n
