Orlando Pirates co-interim coach Mandla Ncikazi is optimistic that they can defeat Diables Noirs following their clash on Friday.
The Buccaneers were held to a 0-0 draw by the Congo-Brazzaville side in the Caf Confederation Cup second round first-leg match which was played at Stade Alphonse Massamba-Débat in Brazzaville.
Mandla, who took charge of his Caf match alongside fellow co-interim Fadlu Davids, pointed out that they need to appreciate the draw due to the adverse conditions in the west-central African country.
