Despite the odds, Ideye believes that the early qualification of their host could work in Enyimba’s favour.

“It’s a must-win match for us. Zamalek is a strong team, but we are determined to secure the maximum points. They’ve already qualified for the next round and might rest some key players,” Ideye said.

Ideye also highlighted the motivational role of club chairman Nwankwo Kanu, whose recent address to the team has reignited belief in their ability to secure a crucial win.

Enyimba relies on past performance and determination

The People’s Elephant previously held Zamalek to a 2-2 draw back in December, showing their ability to challenge the North African heavyweights.

This result, combined with Ideye’s leadership and experience, could lead Enyimba to upset the defending champions in a must-win match.
