Pirates target Confed Cup semi's

A draw will be enough to see the Buccaneers through to the next phase of the competition. Pirates top group B with Zamalek on nine points each.

 

Pirates, meanwhile, come off a confidence-boosting 4-1 demolishment of Chippa United in a Premiership clash on Tuesday.

 

Pirates coach Eric Tinkler said he would not underestimate the importance of the game against Leopards.

 

“It’s a massive game for us where we want to collect all three points,” Tinkler said.

 

“We also stand a chance of winning the group, we only need a point to ensure that we get into the semis. It is an important game for us. I had hoped we would have already qualified, unfortunately Zamalek didn’t do us a favour in the last game.”
