Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Pitso Mosimane admits a tough challenge awaits them when they clash with Chicken Inn in the CAF Champions League.

The two teams will meet in the preliminary stages of the tournament on the weekend of 12-14 February.

Speaking to the club’s official website Mosimane said, “We have been drawn against a very good side. “In fact, I think our draw is tougher than (Kaizer) Chiefs.  Chicken Inn is not an easy team.

Chiefs will face Volcan de Moroni of the Comoros. Mosimane reiterated that they were taking the preparations seriously

“They are a young team, and we signed Kuda Mahachi from them.  We are doing our homework, but we also have held our pre-season camps in Zimbabwe the past two years, and we are quite familiar with the environment and the stadium, which is more like Orlen Park, the stadium Jomo Cosmos use in Potchefstroom added Mosimane.
