Johannesburg-Orlando Pirates coach Roger De Sa said they are expecting an open game against one of African football giants Esperance.
Soweto-based club are hosting Tunisians in a quest of qualifying for the final of most prestigious competition in club football.
“We’re expecting an open game and we must be wary not to concede” De Sa said.
Pirates will not be with Patrick Phungwayo who is injured and also the Sea Robbers will be without their enterprising striker Kermit Erasmus who is cup-tied.
De Sa says, Esperance are playing a positive football and is expecting a plenty of attacks from both side.
Esperance comes into this game upbeat as they’ve only lost one game in championship from their backyard.
Pirates will be searching for a win at all cost in the first leg as second leg will be a mammoth task away.-TDN
