Confederation CupTomorrow Simba vs Kiyovu (2nd leg)SC Kiyovu coach Baptist Kayiranga has backed his team to knock out Simba in the Orange Confederation Cup.Simba host the green baggies in a return leg slated for this Sunday in Dar es Salaam. The first leg ended in a 1-all draw although Kiyovu will still feel hard-done by the referee’s decision to disallow Yusuf Ndiyishimiye’s goal.Thierry Nkurunziza awarded Simba a free-kick when he should have pointed to the center-line after Ndiyishimiye’s strike.However, Kayiranga is putting that aside as his guns strive to reach the first round."We are focused and feel we can upset Simba in their backyard,” he confidently said.Apart from Patrick Umwungeli, who is ruled out because of a hamstring injury, the former Rayon Sport coach has plenty of options to choose from.Meanwhile, Simba are expected to welcome back influential playmaker Haruna Moshi and defender Victor Costa for Sunday’s game.Moshi and Costa have both recovered and should play a part in the second leg.  However, Ulimboka Mwakingwe and Juma Jabu are still injured and have no chance of playing on Sunday.Kiyovu leave for Dar es Salaam later today aboard Rwandair.
