Coton Sports' are ready to beat Ahly in their upcoming match in the Champions' League semi-finals, keeper Loïc Feudjou said on Thursday.

The Cameroonian side will host the seven-time African Champions on Saturday in the first-leg of the Champions League semis.

Feudjou noted that it is vital that his defenders limit set-piece opportunities in Saturday's game, as he believes that Ahly's players are specialists in free-kicks.

"We are ready for Saturday's clash," Feudjou told Cameroonian media confidently on Thursday. "Ahly are a good team and they benefited well from set-pieces, but we know well how to face them."

21-year-old Feudjou confirmed that they are looking for a win in Saturday's clash in order to gain a first-leg advantage, making the second-leg in Egypt easier.

"It will be important to beat Ahly in Cameroon to take a first-leg advantage. We are used to playing well away,"  he added.

Ahly were crowned African champions in 2008 at the expense of Coton Sports.
