The Tunisians grabbed a late equaliser to make the score 1-1 in the Buccaneers' home leg of the final which means that Pirates will have to score at least one goal to lift the CAF Confederation Cup.

Tinkler has indicated that his side have been successful in their away games so far in the competition and is confident that this tie will be no different and that his side can find the back of the net and take control of proceedings.

"Now we have to go out there and score away from home. Our away record is good so we need to have a lot of belief and faith to continue the fight," the coach told Soccer Laduma.

"We have to go there with the same discipline and approach like we did in the other games where we managed to get goals away from home.

"That's what our preparations have been focused on – getting an away goal. Once we do that, we'll take control of the game and it means they will need to come at us. Obviously we will look to catch them on the counterattack."
