A lack of match sharpness could hamper Enyimba of Nigeria when they tackle Rayon Sports of Rwanda in Kigali this weekend in a CAF Confederation Cup quarter -final first leg .
The Nigerian league was halted because of a national association power struggle between incumbent Amaju Pinnick and Chris Giva , which the former won .
Then, the championship was shortened by 14 rounds because of fixture congestion , leaving Enyimba short of competitive fixtures as they seek a fifth African title .
They won successive CAF Champions League titles in 2003 and 2004 and the CAF Super Cup matches that followed those triumphs .
Another worry for Enyimba is a lack of goals in Africa — they have managed only 11 in 10 outings with leading scorers Ibrahim Mustapha and Chinonso Okonkwo claiming just two each.
