Kotoko coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani is looking for the Porcupine Warriors to build up a momentum and keep a clean sheet when they host Sony Nguema in Sunday's CAF Champions League preliminary round game.
The Ghanaian Premier League title holders make a return to Africa after four seasons with a home test against the Equatoriaguineans.
Kotoko have a considerable task of keeping up the standards set by Berekum Chelsea who reached the 'money-zone' of the competition last season.
And, Kotoko head coach Mas-Ud Dramani wants his side to jet off to a flying start on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium.
"It is very important that we keep a clean sheet and get a good result from the first game," he told Accra-based Happy FM.
Kotoko have been boosted by the arrival of defender Rashid Sumaila who has signed a five-year pre-contract with South African side Sundowns.
