Resilient Orlando Pirates set sights on continental glory after MTN8 triumph

Orlando Pirates are slowly blending as a unit, which is why they’ve set their sights on challenging for every trophy up for grabs this season — including the CAF Champions League.

The Buccaneers will begin their Champions League campaign in the first-round preliminary qualifiers at a neutral venue — Toyota Stadium in the Free State — on Saturday. They are expected to win this match, and the tie overall.

The Sea Robbers are high on confidence, having cruised to their fourth successive MTN8 crown after beating Stellenbosch 3–1 at Mbombela Stadium at the weekend. And that’s not all — they also had an impressive continental campaign last season and boast considerable squad depth.
