Etoile du Sahel Will Look To Kill Orlando Pirates Off In Tunisia

Etoile du Sahel Will Look To Kill Orlando Pirates Off In Tunisia

Orlando Pirates will need to make use of their home advantage in the CAF Confederation Cup final this weekend, with Etoile du Sahel flying at home.

The Buccaneers have had an impressive CCC campaign this year, and are the tournament's highest scoring team having bagged 28 goals in the tournament so far.

Eric Tinkler's side are averaging two goals per game in the CCC, and have lost just one home matches in the tournament up to now, however have lost four of their last 11 home games in all competitions.

In a stark contrast to that, ESS have been unstoppable at home, winning 17 of their last 20 competitive matches in their back yard, drawing three, and haven't lost since November of 2014. In those 20 games they also managed to keep 13 clean sheets, proving that they are a formidable force at home.

However, on the flip side, ESS don't travel too well, and have only won one of their last 11 CCC games on the road, something that bodes well for Eric Tinkler's side at Orlando Stadium this weekend.

The Tunisians do have the tournament's top scorer on their team, with Baghdad Bounedjah currently sitting on six goals, while Kermit Erasmus and Thamsanqa Gabuza are sat on five goals each. All three will battle it out for the Golden Boot over the next two games.

ESS are expected to land in South Africa at some point this evening, and will then spend the next couple of days preparing for Saturday night's encounter as they look to improve on their poor away form.
