Pyramids FC star Fiston Mayele has revealed what he is expecting from Orlando Pirates when the two teams meet in the CAF Champions League game in Egypt.
The team led by Krunoslav Jurcic will go up against Jose Riveiro's side at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo on Friday evening in a do-or-die second-leg match.
The two African powerhouses settled for a draw after a tense goalless draw at the FNB Stadium in the first leg of the Champions League last Saturday.
Ahead of the match, Mayele, who has been linked with Kaizer Chiefs, admitted that Pyramids will face challenges in overcoming Pirates, but he is confident that his team can advance to the finals.

"We are one family, and our dream is to qualify for the CAF Champions League final," Mayele said per Twaslnews.com.
"Orlando Pirates is a big and strong team, and they have previously beaten Al Ahly in Cairo."
"If either team scores an early goal, things will be difficult."

Pyramids head coach Jurcic has also weighed in on the match, asserting that his soaring troops are prepared for the showdown.
"We are in a very excellent stage, technically and physically, and we are happy about that," Jurcic said on Thursday.
"Our goal is to win tomorrow and book a place in the final, in order to continue our wonderful and honourable journey.
"We must take advantage of every opportunity in tomorrow's match, score and advance to the next round, while avoiding rushing and leaving spaces for our opponents."
