Sakin, who played in the NPFL for Abia Warriors and Rivers United had predicted a matchup in the knockout rounds with the Nigerian club.

 

He told Cornerstonenewsng.comthat, “I really wish to play against Enyimba.”

 

“If there’s one team I want to face in the quarter-final, it’ll be Enyimba. I know I will score against them and will like to knock them out of the competition.

 

“But more important is that I would like to come back home and to play in front of family and friends again, I would really love that,” said Sakin.

 

The other draws will see Zanaco go up against debutants Pyramids FC. The Egyptian side finished top of Group A, that also had Rangers International FC.

However, Rangers finished third and failed to go through to the knockout rounds.

 

Another Egyptian side that’ll be in action in the last eight is Al-Masry, they tackle Morocco’s RS Berkane.
