Orlando Pirates and CR Belouizdad have announced their starting line-ups for the crucial CAF Champions League encounter at Orlando Stadium this afternoon.
Following Al Ahly SC’s 3-1 victory against Stade d’Abidjan in Ivory Coast last night , this fixture gets more exciting as both teams cannot afford to lose.

The Buccaneers would confirm their spot in the quarter-finals with a win this afternoon, meanwhile, a draw would mean they need to get something from Al Ahly in Cairo next weekend.
Pirates have lost only one home game this season and that was a league match against Stellenbosch FC.
Should Belouizdad get a win this afternoon, it would put them in the driving seat to qualify as they will face Stade d’Abidjan at home next weekend.
This is the second time these two sides face each other, as Pirates beat Belouizdad in Algeria by 2-1.
