ZESCO United coach George Lwandamina says facing Kaizer Chiefs in the Confederation Cup play-off is an opportunity for the Ndola giants to exorcise the South African ghost that has haunted them over the years.
And Nkana coach Beston Chambeshi said they will not underrate little-known San Pedro of Ivory Coast when they clash for a place in the Confederation Cup group stage.
Both Zesco and Nkana will start at home in the first leg on January 12 with the return fixtures after a week.
Lwandamina said in an interview in Ndola yesterday that they will prepare adequately to ensure progress to the group stage.
