CAFCC: Gavin Hunt eyes improved performance against AS Otoho

Head coach of Stellenbosch Gavin Hunt says they need to play above themselves in the CAF Confederation Cup against Congolese side Otoho d’Oyo.

The Stellies, who sit third in Group C with four points from four matches, need a win or a draw to keep their chances of qualifying for the next phase of the competition alive.

Ahead of the game in Oyo at 3:00pm, Gavin Hunt shared his thoughts on the team’s chances on Sunday, February 8.

Stellenbosch have been pale shadow of themselves

“We’ll arrive there on Friday, prepare on Saturday, and then we’ll play on Sunday. We need a point because if we lose we are out, so we need something there and then we can try and win the next game,” Gavin Hunt said.

“They made the game at the middle of the day on the astro turf so you can just imagine. Anybody who has played on astro will know that it is a very different kind of game.”

A loss for Stellies away from home would eliminate them from the competition where they have four points, two behind Otoho d’Oyo and five behind leaders CR Belouizdad after four matches. Stellenbosch produced a spirited performance in their Nedbank Cup round of 32 where they defeated Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town.

Stellenbosch have been pale shadow of themselves in the start of the Betway Premiership campaign, collecting 15 points from 15 games in 12th position.
