Orlando Pirates need to secure at least two wins from their remaining three matches in the CAF Champions League group stage to advance to the quarter-finals. The South African giants currently sit in a good position to qualify, but they face stiff competition from their opponents.
Orlando Pirates need at least two wins from their last three matches to qualify for the CAF Champions League quarter-finals. The Buccaneers currently have five points from three matches and need just two wins from their final three fixtures to advance. Their chances have improved as they will host their next two matches at home, and a victory could bring them close to securing a spot in the knockout stages.
The Buccaneers had a missed opportunity in their away match against the Ivorians last month, where they drew after failing to capitalize on several chances. Their opponents, who are also seeking a place in the CAF quarter-finals, have encountered challenges this season but remain in a favorable position to advance. The Buccaneers will conclude their group stage matches against Al Ahly on January 18 in Egypt. This match could ultimately determine their fate if they do not secure wins against Belouizdad and Stade d’Abidjan. Orlando Pirates have not reached the CAF Champions League quarter-finals since their final appearance in 2013, where they ironically also faced Al Ahly in their last group stage match
