Former Orlando Pirates coach Roger De Sa has boldly stated that he believes Pyramids will eliminate his former side from the CAF Champions League,
The two sides drew 0-0 in the semi-final first leg on Saturday at the FNB Stadium with Pyramids seemingly more stronger than Ezimnyama Ngenkani.
They will meet again in the second leg on Friday in Cairo in what will be a decisive clash, determining the finalists.
De Sa believes the Egyptian giants are favourites to come out victorious on the day.
ROGER DE SA BELIEVES IT’S END OF THE ROAD FOR PIRATES IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
“I watched the Orlando Pirates match against Pyramids, and I was impressed by Pyramids' level,” De Sa said, according to Yallakora.
“They played the match with confidence, and it was unfair for the match to end in a draw without achieving a win. I expected Orlando Pirates to be the strongest team on their home ground, and I was surprised by Pyramids' method.
“Pyramids are in a very good position now, and I think they are the most likely to qualify. Of course, Orlando Pirates should not be underestimated because they are good at counter-attacking and are still a strong team, but Pyramids are the best team at the moment.
“I don't think Orlando Pirates have players who have the ability to make an impact. I think they played with their best lineup, and I don't expect major changes. Perhaps individual performance will improve a little, but if Pyramids continues to perform at the same level, they will qualify.”
