Orlando Pirates take on Ivorian side Stade d’Abidjan in the first clash of their double-header in the CAF Champions League at the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium with the match set to be broadcast on SABC1 and SuperSport 209.
The Buccaneers are looking to bag all three points following their goalless draw with cup holders Al Ahly last week which could be crucial in determining their trajectory in Group C.
Les Yèyès find themselves in a precarious position as they occupy the basement of the group having suffered back-to-back losses against Al Ahly (4-2) and CR Belouizdad (1-0) respectively. They were also beaten 2-0 by Bouaké in the Ivorian Ligue 1.
A win on the road for Jose Riveiro’s charges could see them move top of the group provided that the result between Al Ahly and Belouizdad favours them, while a rare three points for the hosts could see them get their CAF campaign back on track.
