Orlando Pirates are set to host Lioli FC at Orlando Stadium in the second leg of the CAF Champions League first preliminary round. Let's head into the match prediction.
Orlando Pirates enter this clash in high spirits after seeing off the threat of Siwelele in the Betway Premiership. Oswin Appollis's lone strike in the 80th minute saw them win 1-0 on the road. That result marked their fourth consecutive league win.
Turning the attention to the CAF Champions League, the Buccaneers are aiming to appear in the group stages of this competition for the second consecutive time. In the previous season, they topped Group C with a four-point cushion. They made it all the way to the semi-finals but got eliminated by Pyramids.
In the current season, Abdeslam Ouaddou's men find themselves participating in the preliminary rounds for a ticket to appear in the main draw. The first leg of the first preliminary round saw them beat Lesotho's Lioli 3-0 on the road. They are out to protect that lead.
Lioli FC has not played a league game since beating Members FC in the opener on September 13. In fact, they have not been that active.
Tse Nala's CAF Champions League game against Orlando Pirates on Saturday was their first competitive match in seven days. The rustiness was evident as they were outplayed 3-0 in front of their home fans.
