The two sides meet at Bidvest Stadium (20h00) in the first round of their play-off match tonight, after the Clever Boys dropped down to the less fancied Confed Cup following their elimination from the Champions League.
Enyimba, who are two-time Champions League winners, have former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Fatau Dauda in their squad. The Ghanaian will certainly give them information they need to help them get the desired result to take back home for the second leg.
“We’ve been involved in this CAF competition so many times,” Dimgba tells snl24.com/kickoff.
“We want to make sure that we go to the group stages. That is our target and we are well aware Wits are the champions in South Africa. They’re a good team in South Africa and Enyimba is big team in Nigeria, so it promises to be a good match.
“I’m confident that we’ll come out victorious.”
Enyimba, who last participated in Confederation Cup in 2010, have won the Nigerian League seven times, but they are no longer considered as one of the big boys in CAF competitions.
Dimgba explained that the Enyimba side which won back-to-back Champions League titles in 2003 and 2004 was under a different regime, but they are out to bring back the glory days.
“When Enyimba won the Champions League that was another government, so they pushed the players and they made sure that things were looking good,” Dimgba reveals.
“In this period there’s another government and it is why things are slow. Enyimba is trying to come up again with the backing of the new government and every time when there’s a new government things tend to be slow.”
