AS FAR Assistant Coach Jamil Benouahi says all the pressure will be on Mamelodi Sundowns ahead of their CAF Champions League clash on Sunday.

The Moroccan outfit have already qualified for the quarter-finals but will be aiming to secure top spot in Group B at Loftus Versfeld.

Sundowns, meanwhile, sit second in the group and will qualify for the next round if they avoid defeat against the Moroccans.

"From our side we are already in the quarter-final and if there is any kind of pressure, it's on Mamelodi Sundowns but we know very well how great this team is and how big it is," Benouahi said, as per CAF Online.

"We know what they have done for the last ten years in Africa. We are coming into this encounter with the same ambition we had at the beginning of this campaign. 

"We start first on the group and we are aiming to finish first on the group."

AS FAR forward Tumisang Orebonye is well aware of the threat posed by the South African champions.

"We are coming into the game knowing that Sundowns is a very good club, they have shown in the last years that they are a good club and as AS FAR players, we have come here with positive minds to want to finish as leaders of the group," Orebonye added.

"We know that it is going to be difficult but we have to execute what we have been doing at training."
