Chiefs are currently without a win in Group C, where Wydad Athletic Club and Horoya have collected six and four points respectively so far.
With a test against winless Petro Luanda at FNB Stadium this afternoon, Amakhosi are in desperate need of three points if they are to have any shot at competing for a quarterfinal spot.
Hunt, who – like the club – is experiencing this particular stage of the continental competition for the first time, is fully aware of the requirements based on the history of the tournament.
"If you look at the history of the competition – 12 points gets you in, 10 points gets you in, so we've still got four games left," said Hunt during his pre-match press conference.
"We're going to have to win both our home games and certainly win one of the away games, so that's pretty clear."
It will be no easy task, however, with the 56-year-old under no illusion of the tough opposition he faces in the return legs against both Wydad and Horoya.
"Of course, Wydad have been in the final twice in the last five years, so let's be honest and realistic about these things – they are in a different space, that's for sure," he added.
"Horoya, I think, were in the Confed Cup final a year or two ago as well, so these are big teams. Petro Luanda are a big team in Angola, with good pedigree and loads of experience.
"We're under no illusions. Obviously for a club of our size, we need to do better, there's no doubt about it, but you've got to take it all into consideration – where, how, what.
"But when you play these teams at home vs when you play them away from home are totally different, it's not like a normal domestic league game where teams just come out and have a go; these teams are much more tactically sound and they're difficult games."
