ZIMBABWE ARE FAVOURITES – ANGOLA COACH

Angola coach Luis Oliveira Goncalves says the team that commits the least number of mistakes will triumph in Sunday’s Cosafa Castle Cup semifinal in Harare.
Angola, playing only their second game since their appearance at the World Cup finals, are away against Zimbabwe in the match to decide who will play against Zambia in next month’s final.
Goncalves said he believed Zimbabwe started the match as favourites, able to take better advantage of the higher altitude in Harare. “They have home advantage after all,” he said.
Angola arrived in the Zimbabwean capital on Friday with a 20-man squad made up of only locally-based players.
Zimbabwe, too, go into the match without any of their foreign-based contingent.
Zimbabwe, who are defending champions, have won three annual southern Africa championship on three occasions, as is the case with Angola.
