Orlando Pirates has announced their team for an epic encounter.
Jose Riveiro’s team remains the only one in the competition without a loss. They plan to guard this record at home. Their slim win in Algeria did more than give them an edge, it sparked confidence in both the team and fans.
Despite their busy schedule, the Pirates kept up their momentum. A few days back, they beat Polokwane City 1-0 in the Betway Premiership showing their strength and ability to adapt.
Riveiro’s team excels, MC Alger faces road challenges
As the Soweto team continues to succeed, MC Alger needs to overcome a concerning pattern to change the game’s outcome. The Algerian team hasn’t won any of their last four away games in the tournament managing three draws and one loss—a streak they need to end.
As one analyst stated, “Orlando Pirates have found their rhythm at the perfect time. MC Alger will need something special to stop this train.”
