Ismaili right-back Ahmed Sedik believes the Dervishes will face some 'difficulties' in their CAF Confederation Cup match with Sofapaka.

The coastal side coasted to a 2-0 home victory over the Kenyan lowly team on March 18 in their round of 32 first leg.

Ismaili are considered to be halfway through to the next round but Sedik sounded a note of caution ahead of his outfit's return leg.

"The away matches in Africa always include difficulties regardless of the other team's level of performance," Sedik, who's nursing a groin injury, told FilGoal.com.

"Usually, the pitch is uneven while the referee is biased towards the home side."

A draw or even a loss by a one-goal margin would be enough for Ismaili to qualify for the round of 16.

Ismaili's contingent has already arrived in Kenya.
