We must win at home – Zinnbauer

“Setif will come at us with guns blazing as they are bottom and need the win more than us. However, the mood is high in the camp and we want to wrap up qualification at home.” Orlando Pirates head coach Josef Zinnbauer said.

“We have an advantage as we are playing at home and we have to take the game there from the onset. We have to focus on ourselves. We have set ourselves a target of winning all our home matches and this should be enough in terms of qualification.

“Setif is a big team, but we are eyeing the three points. It is important to win the group. Orlando Pirates want a good finish and winning against Setif is not up for question. We have been analysing Setif and we know them well.”
