Orlando Pirates are set to play MC Alger in Algiers on Tuesday, hoping to get a positive outcome in the first leg of the Caf Champions League quarter-final outing.
The Sea Robbers have been doing quite well this season, and they hope to go all the way to win their second star in the prestigious continental competition. Their first triumph came a decade ago.
Have a look at what the fans are saying ahead of the crucial game.
Employ a defensive formation
Score two goals in five minutes and change the formation to 9-0-1 for the rest of the game. We saw it here at home against Mamelodi Sundowns; it works – Evang Excellent
First of all, let me congratulate everyone who reached the Caf Champions League quarter-finals. I say it was no easy journey, but they made it. As a Kaizer Chiefs fan I have decided to put pride aside and wish Orlando Pirates all the best for the quest to CAF champions League glory. To anyone who will be taking on Orlando Pirates, come prepared because it's not going to be an easy game – Junior Du Preez
I feel like this will be a very tough game because the knockout stages are very tough, especially since it is an away game. So it's better to continue with the formation we used against Mamelodi Sundowns of three defenders. It will be hard for MC Alger to beat us if we continue with the same lineup we used against Sundowns. We need to be strong defensively – Steve Steven
We will drown you to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea just as we drowned many before you – Mohammed Ahmed
Good luck to MC Alger. This team should have played Golden Arrows on Friday – Keke Mnguni
Mob justice football will do
All the best to the lads and the technical staff. Pirates are going to shock many people, I'm telling you. If there's one thing Jose Riveiro knows very well is how to win knockout competitions – Pas T Mokoena
Come on, boys, you know the drill. Chin up and show up we sweat blood for this. Once and always, time for history to be made – Galeboe Nat Bojang
All the best boys; remember we are representing not just the badge but the country as well, except our neighbours – Dumile Mbuyeleni Cele
I think the PSL favors us the most. We have games in hand, but we didn't even play during the week – Alinah Nono Khoza
We have entered their territory, mob justice football will do the operation – Jack Sithole
