The three opponents that Orlando Pirates stand to face in the quarterfinals of the CAF Champions League will all come with a similar tag next to their names.
Pirates will play against any of Mamelodi Sundowns, MC Alger, or Pyramids in the two-legged quarterfinals to be played early April.

That quarterfinal will be worth USD1,2 million (approx. R22 million) for the winners, which is the prizemoney on offer for reaching the semi-finals.
The last eight money is USD900 000 (R16,6 million), while the two teams reaching the final will get either USD2 million (approx. R37 million) for the runners-up and USD4 million (approx. R74 million) for the champions.
With CAF stating that the group winners are seeded and cannot be drawn against each other and the runner-up from their group, it gives Pirates three options in Sundowns, MC Alger, or Pyramids.
This will be an away trip for the first leg to Pretoria, Algiers, or Cairo.
The common denominator for the Soweto giants is that they will be against teams that are topping the domestic leagues of their respective countries by the time the draw is conducted on Thursday.
Sundowns enjoy a nine-point lead at the top despite second-placed Pirates having played two games less.
Out in Algeria, MCA are two points ahead of CR Belouizdad as they seek to defend the title they won last year for the first time after 14 years of waiting.
Pyramids – who are the moneybags of Egyptian football – are seeking to finally land their first league title after being runners-up in the last three years.

They enjoy a one-point lead over serial winners Al Ahly with 14 matches played.
This then sets Bucs up to face teams presently leading their domestic championships whichever way the draw goes on Thursday in Qatar.
