Stars have already been victorious over two Premiership sides in SuperSport United and AmaZulu FC.
As MTN8 champions, Pirates, coach Jose Riveiro has said there will be no extra pressure going into the game against Stars.
The Spaniard addressed the media at a briefing held the Premier Soccer League offices on Thursday.
"No. There won't be pressure. There will be extra pressure. You are saying there will be pressure like it's a negative thing. If I say there will be no pressure, I will look like I am arrogant. You know there is always pressure in football no matter which team is in front of you," the coach said to journalists during the Nedbank Cup press conference this week.

"It's you who at times say we already have won the game even before we play. Us, we don't take it like that. Like we learnt lessons from All Stars and Venda Football Academy about playing teams from the lower leagues so we will take the game against our opponents on Saturday just like all the other games and aim to win.
"So there is no extra pressure but there is always pressure in football," Riveiro observed.
