Orlando Pirates vs FC Saint-Eloi Lupopo Preview: Kick-off time, TV channel & squad news

Pirates have Relebihile Mofokeng, Tapelo Xoki and Deano van Rooyen still trying to recover from injury.

Left-back Deon Hotto and forward Tshegofatso Mabasa are likely to feature after sitting out the midweek match against Polokwane City.

Pirates' possible XI: Chaine, Lebitso, Hotto, Mbokazi, Seema, Nduli, Mbatha, Mbule, Moremi, Appollis, Makgopa, 

Wanet Kashala, Dramane Kambou and Jean Benoit Tukumbane who scored in the 3-0 last weekend are fit to play and could torment the Buccaneers again.

The Congolese side have been battling to have Joseph Douhadji and Denis Mutuila recover for Saturday's game.

FC Lipopo possible XI: Omossola, Kokeleya, Katumbwe, Mendy, Kimputu, Ossete, Kambou, Kashala, Mika, Mpeko, Tukumbane

Pirates' defeat by FC Lupopo last Sunday ended an eight-match winning streak.

They had not conceded goals in that winning run, but the DR Congo side broke that impressive record.

As they sought inspiration ahead of the Champions League second leg, Pirates laboured to an uninspiring 1-0 Premier Soccer League victory over Polokwane City.

Lupopo might hope that slim did not do much to boost morale in the Buccaneers' camp ahead of Saturday's match.
