Orlando Pirates and Pyramids FC have announced their starting line-ups for the CAF Champions League semi-final clash at FNB Stadium.
The Buccaneers find themselves playing not in their main venue, Orlando Stadium, due to an Easter church event that is taking place.
But they come into the game in good form, having reached yet another Nedbank Cup final after beating Marumo Gallants 1-0 a week ago and are the only unbeaten side in this year’s Champions League.
The Sea Robbers have another chance to reach a final, as they face Pyramids in the semis after eliminating MC Alger by 1-0 on aggregate in the quarter-final.
Pyramids will be traveling to South Africa for the second time after they lost to Mamelodi Sundowns last season.
Pirates face an Egyptian side for the second time in this Champions League after a goalless draw at home and a 2-1 away win over Al Ahly in the group stages.
Here’s how they line up:
Pirates XI: Chaine, Sibisi, Mbokazi, Hotto, Van Rooyen, Makhaula, Mbatha, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng, Nkota, Mabasa
Subs: Buthelezi, Ndlondlo, Makgopa, Dlamini, Shandu, Xoki, Mako, Ndlozi, Radiopane
Pyramids FC XI: El-Shenawy, Sami, Marie, Hamdy, Lashin, El-Karty, Toure, Fathy, Hafez, Mayele
Subs: Mossad, Ahmed, Hassan, Ahmed, Mohamed, Awujoola
