Orlando Pirates make a trip to Ivory Coast to play Stade d'Abidjan in Group C's Caf Champions League game to be staged at the Felix-Houphouet-Boigny Stadium.

Bucs have collected four points from the initial two games against CR Belouizdad and Al Ahly respectively. They defeated the former 2-1 before drawing 0-0 with the defending champions. 

The West African outfit have lost all their two games so far which makes the Buccaneers clear favourites ahead of the Saturday game. Have a look at what the football lovers in the country feel. 

Mofokeng should be retained at no. 10

I'm convinced if we can use the same lineup we used against Al Ahly we can win by three goals –  Wandile Mpmb 

There's no easy game in the Caf Champions League. Pirates must not give this team too much respect. We must beat them because a win will put pressure on Al Ahly. I just wish the match between Al Ahly and CR Belouizdad would end in a draw –  RebaOne Santos II 

Continue using Relebohile Mofokeng in that number 10 position. The boy will learn; the more the pressure the more he will grow – Kutloano Motloung Mofela 

Isn't it an obvious straight win? But the boys need to stay humble. Consistency is also needed – Molaba Potlako Prudy

We are now the best team in Ivory Coast and Magesi are now the current biggest team in South Africa followed by Polokwane City – Knowledge Knowledge

This is the Caf Champions League, not local Cups, you will come back home crying – Nqobile Nqoh

Never ever make a mistake you made last game and bench Patrick Maswanganyi – Mahlogonolo Waga Moilwa 

Pirates Leverkusen doesn't disappoint in the Caf Champions League – Ernest Van De Light 

Orlando Pirates need a win; we have not been doing well, in the last few games – Khothatso C Mashilo 

In the first 10 minutes, we must not attack them. Let them come to us, we fool they get confidence then they will open up and punish them – INkosi Yo Goalkeeper Muna
