Speaking ahead of the tie, Tusker FC head coach Julien Mette acknowledged that the Brewers are ready for the task against the Leopards.
”I think we are good, ready and prepared. The victories are helping us to have better communication and a smile on our faces. It is a game of giving and receiving. For us, we are going for five wins in a row; we just want to maintain our philosophy. We push that and correct some details in our training sessions. Against Leopards will be more of a mental game than tactical, because Leopards have a lot of pressure on their shoulders, they have a lot of fans, they expect titles, which is not our case,” Mette said in his pre-match briefing.
AFC Leopards trashed the Brewers 4-0 at the same venue in January 2026, leaving Tusker with a point to prove in their revenge mission on Sunday, March 22, 2026.
