BULAWAYO City head coach Mandla a�?Lulua�? Mpofu is optimistic that his charges will get the better of Dynamos in the first round of the Chibuku Super Cup.
He feels Dynamos have a lot of business going on and that will work to his advantage.
a�?It was a fair draw and I believe my boys will do well against Dynamos. Dynamos are under pressure to do well as they are also chasing the league championship. We have been doing well in the second half of the season and Dynamos should not stop us,a�? said Mpofu.
