TP Mazembe's coach Lamine Ndiaye aimed to reassure reporters this Friday before his team's match against Egypt's Pyramids FC scheduled for this Saturday at the Kamalondo stadium in Lubumbashi in the Haut Katanga province as part of the penultimate day of the group phase of the African Champions League.

He stated: "It's an important match for us. We have the chance to play this match in front of our home crowd, which brings us a lot and I hope that the team will play well and win the match. We have a third match remaining against the same team that had defeated us and who will also give their all because a defeat will eliminate them."
