Sebola Eyeing Pirates Home Win In CAF Final

Sebola Eyeing Pirates Home Win In CAF Final

Former Orlando Pirates striker, Andries Sebola, is advising Eric Tinkler's team to finish half of the job here in South Africa in their upcoming CAF Confederation Cup game.

The Buccaneers' 'biggest match since 2013' will be on Saturday against Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia in the Confederation Cup first leg final.

"They need to maintain the same approach they showed when they played against Al Ahly here at home. They never conceded goals here at home in that game. They went that side (Egypt) and scored more goals. I think that experience is going to help them if they don't allow that team to score a goal here at home. Pirates have to score at least two goals and that is going to help them that side.

"If you remember in 1995 when Pirates won the CAF Champions Cup, they drew 2-2 against Asec Mimosas here at home. They went to Mimosas and scored one goal that side. It helped them to win the cup. The experience of the players that recently played for their national teams around Africa is going to help them on Saturday night.

"They shouldn't pressurise themselves about the past. Sometimes the results were not forthcoming for the team when playing at home. They got good results when they played away. They should play their normal game.

"We have to go and fill the Orlando Stadium with as many supporters as possible. We need to motivate the team because going to Tunisia is not going to be easy. That team has been doing well, especially at home," said Sebola.

Pirates coach, Eric Tinkler, concurs with Sebola that his side will have to continue with the impressive performance they showed against Al Ahly for a chance to defeat the Tunisian outfit.
