The Maidens won the first leg 5-1 a fortnight ago and are keen to repeat the dose on Sunday.
Coach Evans Adotey and his players left their Prampram base for Cape Coast yesterday to round off preparations for the match.
He told the Daily Graphic that his side will take nothing for granted and will prepare well for the Gambians.
Four goals from Mukarama Abdulai and a fifth from Nina Norshie handed the Maidens a comfortable lead into the second leg but Coach Adotey insists there is still more to fight for in this tie.
"The scoreline from the first leg looks flattering but we won't get carried away by that.
"We have just begun the qualifiers and we need to maintain our focus and winning ways," Coach Adotey explained.
Since their return from the Gambia, the Maidens have played a number of trial matches and are expected to play the last of such games against Sekondi-based Haasport Ladies at the Cape Coast Stadium today to fine-tune their plan for Sunday.
