Enyimba FC are set to give their continental title challenge a real push this midweek when they take on South African side Orlando Pirates on Wednesday in Soweto.
Fresh from a goalscoring contribution against Ahly Benghazi, captain of Enyimba FC, Austin Oladapo says his side will go for the top points ahead of the clash.
The midfielder who scored a scorcher on matchday one of the CAF Confederation Cup revealed his side is not in South Africa for a tour.
“The game will be a very big battle because whosoever wins will sit top of the group, I don’t want to disrespect them, I have watched most of their games and there are a very good side and we are a good side as well. We know the purpose of our trip to South Africa, we are not going for a tour but we are going for a win which will keep us top of the group.”

A win for Enyimba FC in Soweto will see the Eight-time Nigerian champions tighten their stranglehold in Group A with 6 points.
