Willful JS Kabylie intent on upsetting the applecart versus T.P Mazembe in Lumumbashi
The Algerian first-league squad of JS Kabylie are due to face today Sunday the Congolese team of T.P Mazembe at 14h 30mn (Algerian time) in the stadium of Lumumbashi as part of the first-leg semi-final match of the African champions league competition.
- The players of JS Kabylie have made a good preparation with several intensive training sessions and have vowed to pull out all the stops on the pitch in Lumumbashi to subdue home-team and African title-holder T.P Mazembe who is widely regarded as an indomitable contender in this prestigious African football contest.
- JS Kabylie Swiss coach Geiger can count on the availability of all his elements for this decisive semi-final clash in Lumumbashi as no injuries have been reported by the club’s medical staff.
- Geiger has subjected all his line-up to a hard and thorough preparation over the past week in order to gear up resolutely to this grueling semi-final fixture versus the Mazembe squad who are said to be very difficult to deal with especially at home.
- T.P Mazembe are known for their fine collective play as well as for their potent midfield and their most prolific striking line.
- The JS Kabylie side are, however, firmly banking on a victory or at least a draw on Congolese soil in view of their staunch legendary winning spirit so as to brace up at ease for the second –leg fixture to be played in two weeks’ time in Tizi Ouzou stadium in the hope of eventually wrenching the qualifying ticket for the final of this lucrative African champions football league contest.
