Zimbabwe – one of the semi-finalists of the last edition held in South Africa last year, are most likely to make the finals, after they dispatched Lesotho 3-1 in the first leg of their qualifier at Barbourfields Stadium last weekend.
The Warriors would have to be at their worst to throw away that healthy lead when they visit the minnows in their own backyard in Maseru in the second leg.
Coach Kalisto Pasuwa seems to know that complacency could prove fatal and has admitted that playing away from home would bring its own challenge.
“I didn’t want them to get the away goal, but they did, so we have to work hard in the return leg to ensure we get a positive result. Playing away is difficult and we have to be on the guard,†he said.
The Warriors will be aiming for their third straight CHAN finals appearance and expectations will be high this time round, they go one better and reach or even win the finals.
