Zesco United are aiming to become the first Zambian winners of the Confederation Cup after they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last year.

They are one of 16 teams in the group stage of the Confederation Cup that begins this weekend.

Zesco open their Group C campaign at home to Egypt's Smouha on Saturday.

"If we believe in each other we can lift the trophy," said striker John Ching'andu.

The 23-year-old scored twice as Zesco reached the expanded group phase by beating Enugu Rangers of Nigeria 3:0 at home.

United had also shown spirit in the first leg as they recovered from two goals behind to force a 2:2 draw.

Serbian coach Zlatko Krmpotic shares the optimism of Ching'andu.

"Smouha are a good team who I know from my days as assistant coach of TP Mazembe in the Democratic Republic of Congo," he said.

"We beat them 2:0 away and 1:0 at home in the CAF Champions League, but they were no pushovers and deserve respect."

The Egyptians edged South African Premiership leaders Wits in a one-goal tie settled by a penalty.

Title-holders TP Mazembe tackle CF Mounana of Gabon in a clash between two Champions League drop-outs.

Former Confederation Cup winners FUS Rabat of Morocco host Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), the first Ugandan club to qualify for the group stage of a continental competition.

KCCA came close to shocking title-holders Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa in the Champions League before being demoted to the Confederation Cup.

Mbabane Swallows, the first Swaziland club to make a CAF group stage, have a challenging start away to record three-time Confederation Cup winners CS Sfaxien of Tunisia Sfaxien.

The Tunisians scored seven unanswered goals in two previous home victories and Karim Aouadhi and Senegalese Mohamed Ndoye score consistently.
