DYNAMOS will go on an all-out attack when they face Interclube of Angola in the return leg of the Confederation Cup group stage qualifying play-offs in Luanda this Sunday.

Assistant coach, Tonderai Ndiraya, believes the Glamour Boys still have a good chance despite being held to a goalless draw at Rufaro two weeks ago.
DeMbare need, at least, a scoring draw to make it to the mini-league and Ndiraya said they would be looking for an early goal to unsettle the home team.
“It won’t be easy but we want a positive result in Angola,” said Ndiraya.

“So, we are going there aiming for an outright win and if that doesn’t happen then we would fight to get at least a scoring goal. It’s good that we didn’t concede at home so will be pushing for goals in Angola. It was difficult when they came here because they were more defensive. This time they will be at home and they could change their approach and open up a bit.”

But Dynamos have struggled to get results away from home of late in the African safari and they will be praying for a better performance in Luanda.
The last time they played away, they were hammered 0-6 by the defending champions Esperance in the second round of the Champions League tournament. Ndiraya said they learnt their lessons from that match, which should make them stronger in Angola.

“We are trying our level best to psyche them up. I must say we learnt a big lesson on that side (Tunisia) and hopefully when we go to Angola we should be able to come back with a positive result. We don’t want to repeat the same mistakes that cost us before,” said Ndiraya.
Experienced midfielder, Murape Murape, and striker Derrick Kabwe returned to full training this week.

Murape was recovering from a knee injury that kept him out of the first leg while Kabwe had a hamstring strain.
The coaches were still not sure about the possibility of getting Denver Mukamba for the match although they included him in their plans.

DeMbare would need to beat the police side at their own turf or, at least, force a scoring draw to make it through to the group stage on the away goals’ rule.
A goalless draw in Angola will force the teams to engage in a shootout to decide the winners and Ndiraya said they would not leave anything to chance. DeMbare are coming from a good weekend in the domestic league after thrashing lightweights Blue Rangers 6-0 on Sunday.

Big striker, Takesure Chinyama, who has not been finding the back of the nets of late, appears to have regained some of his confidence after banging a hattrick in the match.

“The win was a big confidence booster and will help calm the nerves as we face a crucial game in Angola. At least, we are going there with our spirits high,” said Ndiraya.
