Continental Cup dreams still in focus for Ghana's trio as Berekum Chelsea, Medeama and Ebusua Dwarfs keep their Africa campaign's going.

It's a busy weekend for all three sides as their chances of progressing past the first round qualifiers hinge on their return leg matches.

Berekum Chelsea, who needed a late equaliser to avert home defeat in the CAF Champions League are away to Libya's Al Ahly Benghazi in Tripoli.

The former Ghanaian champions face a difficult return fixture as their opponents hold hold an away goal to their credit from the first leg.

Chelsea, who reached the last eight in their debut campaign, two seasons ago are confident of a positive result.

With a healthy 3-0 advantage going into the return leg against MAS of Morocco, Medeama's progress to the next round in the Confederations Cup looks increasingly possible.

However, the Mauves, who are making their continental debut are not getting ahead of themselves.

Despite sitting in the relegation zone in the domestic competition, Dwarfs continue to impress in the Confederations Cup.

The Cape Coast side are the guest of Petro Atletico in Luanda this weekend as they hold a 2-0 first leg advantage.

The statistics are good to read for Dwarfs who have set their sights at the title.

For assistant coach Rashid Iddi, failure to land the trophy could be considered a failure.

“We will consider it a failure if we do not lift the Cup,” the Dwarfs assistant coach.
