Confed Cup: Medeama desperate for a win against MO Bejaia

Medeama will want to bounce back to winning ways in the CAF Confederation Cup as they host Algeria's MO Bejaia on Wednesday.

The Ghanaian FA Cup champions are desperate for a win to ensure they remain in the race for the knock-out stages.

Losing 3-1 to last year's CAF Champions League champions, TP Mazembe, means they must now fight harder to win at home.

Medeama sit at the bottom of the log table with zero points and a win will revive their hopes of moving up the log table.

However, facing Bejaia, who are high in confidence having beaten Tanzania's Young Africans 1-0 in their first match, is set to be a challenge.

Looking at Bejaia, they are aware that meeting Medeama in Ghana is not an easy assignment.

The visitors will want to add to Medeama's woes as the hosts lost their Ghanaian Premier League tie 1-0 to New Edubiase, leading up to the clash.

The Crabs occupy the second spot behind Mazembe and a win will take them to six points which means they can challenge the Democratic Republic of Congo side on for top spot.

This encounter is scheduled to get underway at Sekondi-Takoradi Stadium in Ghana on Wednesday afternoon.
