  • Orlando Pirates are one of the clubs that qualified for the CAF Champions League quarter-finals, but the Buccaneers have been told to avoid two clubs.

The article from MSN discusses Orlando Pirates' potential opponents in the CAF Champions League quarter-finals, highlighting two teams they should ideally avoid. Firstly, Al Ahly from Egypt, known for their extensive experience and success in the competition, having won it a record 11 times. Al Ahly's current form and historical dominance make them a formidable opponent. Secondly, Mamelodi Sundowns, another South African team, who have shown exceptional performance in the group stages, finishing with an unbeaten record. A match against Sundowns would not only be a local derby but also a clash of two of the continent's top teams, potentially draining for Orlando Pirates due to the high stakes and familiarity between the teams. Avoiding these teams would give Orlando Pirates a better chance to progress further in the tournament.
