Orlando Pirates can play Enyimba without fear after Swallows FC draw - Zinnbauer

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer says despite dropping two points in last Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Swallows FC, the way they performed gives them hope ahead of their Caf Confederation Cup Group A match away at Enyimba FC on Wednesday.

It was a second straight draw for Pirates having also been held 0-0 by ES Setif in another continental fixture last week.

The Buccaneers will be in Aba on Wednesday where they need a draw to be guaranteed to progress to the quarter-finals of the continental second-tier club competition.
