Orlando Pirates confirmed their starting lineup for this evening’s CAF Champions League Preliminary round second-leg encounter against Madagascar champions Disciples FC at Orlando Stadium.
Following a shock goalless draw six days ago, Pirates will be aiming to put home ground advantage to good use and dispatch the islanders in order to progress to the group stages.

The Buccaneers were their own worst enemy by creating countless chances but failed to convert them when the two sides last clashed in Mauritius, something they will be hoping to rectify as they simultaneously look not to concede so that they do not find themselves in a tricky away-goal rule situation.
Nothing but a win will see the Ghost seal a passage to the group stages with either Botswana champions Jwaneng Galaxy or Namibian side African Stars lying in wait. Stars won the first-leg 1-0 and could cause one of the biggest upsets in continental football.
