Heartland expect a tough mission when they take on Ahli in the African Champions League on Sunday, according to assistant coach Emeka Ezeugo.

Nigeria's only remaining representative in the competition are placed third in Group B on four points, just one behind Ahli and hope they can leapfrog the six-time African champions into the second place.

"We are going into their territory and they are not just going to sit down and watch us win," Ezeugo was quoted as saying by Nigerian paper Next.

"They will try everything they can to keep us from winning.

"They would be utilizing every opportunity they get so we know we are in for a tough game and therefore we should not relax," added the former Nigerian international.

Algerian side JS Kabylie have already reached the semi-finals after collecting 10 points with two rounds to go.

Ismaily, who are rooted with just three points from four games, are in Algeria to play the group leaders with slim qualification hopes.
