Raja Casablanca coach Hafiz Abdel Sadek has vowed to give Mamelodi Sundowns a tough match in the CAF Champions League on Saturday evening.
The Moroccan giants remain without a win after three matches in the group stages and are in desperate need for maximum points if they have any chance of advancing to the quarter-finals.
Sadek says the players are well aware of what's needed on Saturday, despite the uncertainty surrounding the appointment of the next head coach.

"We are preparing for Sundowns in an ideal atmosphere, despite the difficult circumstances surrounding Raja," Sadek said, as per Kooora.
"Raja players are fully aware of the importance of the match, as it is decisive in the race to reach the quarter-finals.
The caretaker coach also confirmed that he has the necessary requirements to sit on the bench on Saturday evening.
"I am qualified to sit on the bench of the Casablanca team, and the club has obtained a license from CAF to do so," he continued.
"We will play a strong and complicated match, and we have no choice but to win to correct Raja's position in Group B.
"I hope we will have the support of our fans, because we appreciate their great frustration."
