Head to Head

This will be the second meeting between the two clubs across all competitions after the first was a 0-0 draw in Brazzaville last week

Orlando Pirates Form

Orlando Pirates travelled to Brazzaville last week, and despite having chances to score, came away with a 0-0 draw. The Pirates defenders put in a solid display against a physical Diables Noirs team, and they can expect a similar tactic on Sunday.

A concern for the Buccaneers is that they are not firing upfront at present and have only scored one goal in their last four games. Who will step up to the plate and lead Pirates to victory?

The Sea Robbers had to settle for a 0-0 draw against a ten-men Maritzburg United side in their PSL clash on Wednesday.

The Soweto Giant's lie 7th in the table on 10 points from 7 games and are now winless in their last four games played across all competitions.

Orlando Pirates Team News & Injuries

Debutant Simiso Bophela came on as a substitute in the second half against Maritzburg United and impressed Co-coach Fadlu Davids. He should be in the starting lineup against Diables Noirs.

Thembinkosi Lorch, Tshegofatso Mabsa and Vincent Pule were all absent midweek and are still injured.

Diables Noirs Form

Diables Noirs would have been disappointed with not coming away with a victory in the first leg tie. They created chances in the game but came against a stubborn Orlando Pirates defence.

Diables Noirs travel to Orlando Stadium knowing a 1-1 draw would see them go through to the next round of the CAF Confederations Cup on the away goals rule.

The Black Devils are on an impressive 13 game run without losing a match, but an equal concern is that they have only scored once in the first three games they have played in all competitions this season. However, they have yet to concede a goal.

Coach Danh Nsonde will remind his team that they scored 42 goals last season in their domestic league and have the ability to put away chances that they create during a match.

Diables Noirs Team News & Injuries

Diables Noirs should field a similar side that lined up against Orlando Pirates last week.

Hardy Binguila, Grace Djimbi, Carl Wunda and Jeremie Mumbere created good chances against Pirates and will be a threat on Sunday.
