With the odds stacked against Baroka in this match-up, the fearless Masutha believes his players can approach the game with enjoyment and without any pressure.
"To be honest, we were expecting to face anyone who made it to the Last 16. It's a draw, teams don't get to choose their opponents," Masutha said, chatting to KickOff.com.
"So, yeah, it's football, and we will go there to enjoy the occasion. From the beginning, our aim was to push as far as we can.
"This doesn't change anything for us. We just have to go there and enjoy the moment.
"It will be Baroka vs Pirates, and on the day, both teams will play football," added the man affectionately known as 'Moporofita'.
Masutha regards the fixture as a great opportunity to test his team's abilities against the best in the country.
"We've got nothing to lose. We will simply go and enjoy the occasion, and the other things will take care of themselves.
"We will not be nervous at all because we are not expected to win, and remember, every footballer wants to play against these big teams.
