Meanwhile, d’Abidjan, currently sitting at the bottom of the standings with only one point from three matches, will strive to claim all three points to keep their aspirations for reaching the next round alive.

    Pirates team news & squads

    Pirates have not lost a match in the group stages, however, one win and two draws are not what they were aiming for considering their quality in the team. 

    Riveiro is likely to field his strongest first-eleven Esgodini, with key players like Relebohile Mofokeng and Kabelo Dlamini ready to take the field in this match.

    It will be intriguing to see if Monnapule Saleng and Patrick Maswanganyi will make their return to the first eleven on Saturday.

    Pirates possible XI: Chaine, Van Rooyen, Mako, Sesane, Sibisi (c), Makhaula, Mbatha, Dlamini, Mofokeng, Nkota, Makgopa
