Orlando Pirates Form
Orlando Pirates lost 1-0 at home in the second leg semi-final after an 89th-minute strike by Al Ahly Tripoli but prevailed 2-1 on aggregate to advance to their second CAF Confederation Cup final in the club's history.
Their last five results away across all competitions are W, D, L, L and W, scoring three goals and conceding just two at the back.
The Buccanneers have been goal-shy in recent months, and this will be a concern for the coaching staff as they have scored just six goals in ten outings in all competitions.
However, the Soweto giants have been in tremendous form defensively, conceding a miserly three goals in ten fixtures, including keeping seven clean sheets.
Orlando Pirates have a chance to become the first South African club to lift the CAF Confederation Cup on Friday. Their strength is their defence, but they have lacked goals upfront. Could that cost them the match?
