Orlando Pirates striker Evidence Makgopa celebrates with teammates.
Orlando Pirates will be looking to turn around what seems to be an impossible task when they host Saint-Éloi Lupopo in the second leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League today at Orlando Stadium.
The Buccaneers suffered a shock 3-nil defeat in the first leg of their second preliminary round tie in DRC last week.
Coming into this game, Abdeslam Ouaddou’s men were on hot form; however, that did not stop the Congolese men from beating them.
This defeat put them at risk of being eliminated before the group stages of the competition.
Last season’s CAF semifinalists won their mid-week game against Polokwane City 1-nil in the Betway Premiership.
The kick-off of this encounter is at 3pm.
