BackpageThis will be the first meeting between Pirates and Stade d'Abidjan at any level of any competition.
The Buccaneers go into this match against the backdrop of failing to win their last two matches, after losing to Stellenbosch in the PSL and then last weekend's 0-0 Champions League draw with Al Ahly.
Pirates are, however, second in Group C with four points, the same as leaders Al Ahly who enjoy a superior goal difference.
Their Ivorian opponents are on a four-match winless run in all competitions and have lost their two Champions League matches and anchor Group C.
