Revenge is on the cards for Gor Mahia when they take on USM Alger in the first round of the CAF Champions League

Now with a place in the group stages of the Champion League at stake, Gor will be out to make amends against the team that knocked them out of the CAF confederations cup in 2018

Both teams comfortably reached the knockout phase with one-sided victories over Black Eagles (Burundi) and Sonidep (Niger). Gor thrashed Aigle Noir 5-1 on aggregate while USM were 5-2 victors over two legs against their opponents from Niger.

Now with a place in the group stages of the Champion League at stake, Gor will be out to make amends against the team that knocked them out of the CAF Confederations Cup in 2018.

In what will be further good news for Steven Polack’s men, two of their new signings Ghanaian striker Francis Afriyie and Ivorian Gnamien Yikpei will all be available for selection in the next round after missing out in the preliminaries due to late registration.

In 2018, USM held Gor to a goalless draw in the first leg in Nairobi before beating them 2-1 in the return leg fixture to eliminate the Kenyans in the group stages of the CAF Confederations Cup.
