Dynamos, Zimbabwe's representatives in the CAF Confederations Cup, have left the capital city Harare for Angola ahead of the third round second leg match against Interclube pencilled for Sunday in Luanda.
The team left early this Friday morning with head coach, Callisto Pasuwa upbeat his team stands a chance to upstage Interclube in their own back yard.
Despite being held to a nil-all draw by the Angolans in the first leg played a fortnight ago, Pasuwa said his charges have prepared adequately for Sunday's showdown.
While Dembare were relegated into the CAF Confederation Cup after failing to surge into the mini-league phase of the CAF Champions league, Pasuwa said failure in Africa's most prestigious club competition would be a motivating factor in Sunday's encounter.
An outright win would ensure qualification into the group phase of Africa's second tier competition with a scoring draw also enough for Dembare as the away goals rule would come into play.
