Zamalek battled to a 1-1 away draw against the Congolese side in the first leg last Saturday, leaving the tie finely poised ahead of the return leg in Cairo.

“We will play only to win. This is the only competition for us and we will do our best to remain in contention,” Seck said in the pre-match press conference on Saturday.

“The first leg result wasn’t ideal and Zamalek were the favorites to win,” the Malian coach added.

Seck also highlighted Zamalek's vast experience in African competitions, stressing that the Cairo giants are different from other teams they faced since the tournament started.

“We have a chance that we work on it in tomorrow’s match and we will amend the mistakes of the previous game,” he concluded.

The winner of Sunday’s game will be facing the winner between Algeria’s CR Belouizdad and Egypt’s Masry in the prestigious tournament semi-final.
