Stade d’Abidjan and Orlando Pirates have announced their starting lineup for the evening CAF Champions League encounter at Félix Houphouët-Boigny.
The Ivorian giants have not won a match in this group after suffering two defeats to; Al Ahly SC and CR Belouizdad.
Buccaneers on the other side are yet to lose after beating Belouizdad and playing a goalless draw against reigning African champions and a win for them would send them top of the group.
This is the first time these two sides face against each other but it’s the same arena where Pirates won the Champions League in 1995 against ASEC Mimosas.
Pirates XI: Chaine, van Rooyen, Sesane, Sibisi (c), Mako, Makhaula, Mbatha, Nkota, Mofokeng, Hotto, Makgopa
Subs: Buthelezi, Monyane, Timm, Gilberto, Dlamini, Mabasa, Maela, Rasebotja, Kimvuidi.
Abidjan XI: Bamba (c), Gueye, Traore, Meite, Mansou, Niampa, Aka, Assale, Kouyate, Kore, Kone.
Subs: Zaddy, Diallo, Kone, Bachabi, Koansa, Diomande, Moukoro, Bayo, Trabi.
