Chippa United believe they do stand a 'slight' chance of causing an upset against Orlando Pirates in what is a Betway Premiership season opener for both sides on Wednesday.
The Chilli Boys know facing the high-flying Sea Robbers at Esgodini will not be an easy task.

Jose Riveiro's charges go to the encounter with their tails up following a 2-0 win over Jwaneng Galaxy FC in Botswana last Saturday.
Meanwhile, Chippa will be minus three of their players.
"Presently, we don't have any suspensions. It's just a few injuries; Ronaldo Maarman, Elmo Kambindu and Thobani Jacob are still injured," says assistant coach Thabo September, providing an update to KickOff.
"But we can make it without anyone, we trust anyone that is here. But yes, Pirates have been playing, so they should be sharper.
"But we prefer to focus more on ourselves. It's the first game for us, so we need to do certain things right and manage the game right to be able to play our game.
"But ja, we expect a good game. We expect a good tempo from them since they've been playing," adds the former centre-back.
Asked about carrying the 'underdog' tag, September says the Chilli Boys have the belief that they can come away with something from the match.
"Already Pirates have played six competitive games, so ja, we expect a good game.
"They are playing at home, but I don't know if they are the favorites. At Chippa, we believe in what we have.
"But yes, they can be favourites. Remember, they finished second last season on the log table, and they haven't lost any of the games they have played so far.

"There will always be chances of beating your opponent in football though. So, we don't know how big the chances are, but there is always a chance to beat anyone.
"So, we just need to make use of the chances we will create."
Kick-off is at 19:30."
