Galaxy news & squads

Coach Morena Ramoreboli is anticipating a tough game against the South Africans despite being at home.

The tactician is expected to field a strong team since he has no injury concerns, especially to his star players.

Galaxy Possible XI: Phoko, Leinanyane, Keredilwe, Mangolo, Sechele, Baruti, Mokhachane, Mpolokang, Ramotse, Sesinyi, Bante

Pirates team news & squads

Tapelo Xoki and Bandile Shandu are ready for the game after recovering from their long-term injuries but are unlikely to be used.

Deano Van Rooyen might make his debut for the Sea Robbers after joining from Stellenbosch a couple of weeks ago.

Head-to-head and recent form

Bucs are unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions; they won their latest outing against Cape Town City - in the MTN8, 2-0.

Galaxy lost 1-0 away against African Stars in the previous preliminary round before winning by the same margin in the second leg at home and eventually advancing after a favourable result in the penalty shootout.

In the head-to-head record, this is the third time in a row the two teams are meeting in the Caf Champions League. Last season, Galaxy won at home by a solitary goal with the Buccaneers winning by the same scoreline at home but lost in penalties.
