Pirates come to the match high in confidence for their impressive results as they are yet to lose this season in the different competitions and the supporters have been backing the team to continue with their progress.

Influential defender Olisa Ndah and in-form attacker Monnapule Saleng have been notable absentees from some of the team's training sessions.
The two players have been out since getting injured last week in the league match against Polokwane City though indications have been that they could make the squad for the all-important match this evening after making progress.
