Bucs and Ahly lock horns at the New Suez Stadium in Egypt on Sunday evening in the deciding encounter that will determine which side goes on to play in the final.
"We expect a tough encounter in Egypt. Al Ahly is a good side but they are under pressure to produce a positive result at home. I am expecting a more attacking approach from them and a high tempo match as well, which should suit our style of play. We plan to be resolute in our defence, punish any mistakes they make when they come at us and look to create goal scoring opportunities," Mahamutsa told the club's official website.
Despite winning 1-0 in the first-leg tie at Orlando Stadium last weekend, with Mahamutsa captaining the side, the centre-back believes that Bucs might be regarded as underdogs for the game in Egypt.

"We understand that we head into Egypt as underdogs. From our experiences in the 2013 Champions League final we know their fans have a strong presence and create a hostile environment at the stadium. But look, whether the stadium is empty or full it doesn't matter to us, we are focused on our game plan and we will fight to make it into the final," concluded Mahamutsa.
