Ghanaian international defender Nartey Polo has tipped his outfit to beat Ashantigold in order to secure qualification to the next stage of the competition in the upcoming CAF Confederations cup.
The miners were drawn against giants West African neighbours Salitas FC from Burkina Faso on Monday at CAF headquarters, Cairo in Egypt.
The Obuasi based club will play at home in the first leg on November 27 before travelling to Burkina Faso for the second leg on December 4.
The winner of this tie will tackle the winner between Sudanese side Alamal Atbara and KVZ Sports Club of Zanzibar in the first round of the competition.
However, according to the former New Edubiase player, he is optimistic about his defeating Ashantigold to book qualification.
“I was happy when I heard our opponent is Ashanti Gold. We’ll eliminate them from this year’s competition,” he told Kumasi-based Pure FM.
“They’re not the Ashanti Gold we used to know. Most of their players have left the club and trust me, we’ll eliminate them,” he insisted.
