Nigerian champions Enyimba will look to revive their hopes of making it beyond the group stages  of the CAF Champions League when they take on Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa in a Group B fixture on Wednesday at the Lucas Moripe  Stadium, reports say.

The two-time winners of the competition lost their opening group stage game 1-0 against Egyptian side, Zamalek.

Entente Setif of Algeria's disqualification from the competition by the Confederation of African Football for crowd trouble which nullified  Sundowns 2-0 away win against the North Africans on matchday one has offered Enyimba a fresh lifeline, one that they are ready to take advantage of.

"We were really disappointed with the outcome of our first game against Zamalek, but we have another chance to put things right against Sundowns," Enyimba winger Joseph Osadiaye told reporters.

"The win against Abia Warriors in our last league game has really boosted our morale and we hope to beat them in their backyard."
