Jose Riveiro's side enters this game as one of the few unbeaten teams in the group stages this season.

They will be aiming to conclude their final home group-stage match with a victory.

The Spaniard will be pleased to welcome back Makhehleni Makhaula, who missed the previous league game.

Makhaula's return is expected to bolster the team’s midfield and improve their chances of securing all three points.

The visitors come into this game in high spirits after defeating Al Ahly in their previous match.

They are currently ninth in their domestic league with 19 points.

Known for their aggressive play and high-pressing strategy, they will be determined to avenge their earlier loss to the Buccaneers.

Khanyisa Mayo will be a key figure in the attack, supported by Abderrahmane Meziane.

The duo will aim to trouble the Pirates’ defence as they push for a positive result.
