Berekum Chelsea have the dice loaded against them as they face Ahly Benghazi in Tunis on Sunday in the Champions League first round return leg. 

Their Libyan hosts had to move the match to Tunisia due to the post civil war violence in Libya’s second largest city.

The 2011 Ghanaian champions prepared for this match with a 0-0 draw with Wa All Stars in a First Capital Plus Premier League match.

Head coach Tony Lokko insists his players have what it takes to go through in the qualifiers.
