Former Super Falcons assistant coach Samson Unuanel has backed
Enyimba to progress to the knockout stages of the CAF Confederation Cup.
The People’s Elephant are yet to record a win in the group stage of the competition.
Yemi Olanrewaju’s side lost 2-0 to Egypt’s Al Masry in their first Group D game.
The Aba giants held holders Zamalek to a 2-2 draw last weekend.
Enyimba currently occupy third position in the group with one point.
“It will be too early to start thinking Enyimba will not qualify to the knockout stages of the CAF Confederations Cup,” Unuanel told Complete Sports.
“Yes, they have played two draws and sit third in the group, but then, a win will push the team to pole position.
“The result against Zamalek was not bad considering the fact that they came from two goals down. This result will boost the morale of the players ahead of their next game.
“I am very optimistic that Enyimba will make it to the next round of the competition because they have the experience.”
Enyimba will take on Mozambican side Black Bull in their next group game.
