The Bamboutos & Cotonsport managers are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Elite One league table.
It's no vacation for neither Bamboutos nor Cotonsport as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Cotonsport have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
