Ghana Premier League side Dreams Football Club continue their fairytale ride to the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday.
Abdul Karim Zito's boys will come up against Stade Malien in the second leg of their quarterfinal tie at the Baba Yara Stadium.
The Ghanaian side command a 2-1 advantage from the first-leg having come from behind to defeat Stade Malien in Bamako a week ago.
The advantage for Zito's side is that they have never lost any of their home games in the competition with the next one coming with much importance to keep the record intact.
The team takes their inspiration from two stars - Abdul Aziz Issah and veteran John Antwi - who have each scored four goals as well as recorded two assists.
Antwi might have loads of experience under his belt but for the majority of the Dreams players, this campaign is a first.
"It’s not easy playing in multiple competitions simultaneously, especially for these young players experiencing it for the first time," Antwi said.
"In the past when I played in Egypt, we’d have four tournaments in a single season. The fixture congestion takes a toll, but the boys are giving their absolute best."
If there is a twist to their form at home in this competition, a 1-0 defeat in Kumasi will still be enough for Dreams to advance to the last four of the Confederation Cup.
The game is scheduled for a 16:00 GMT kickoff on Sunday.
