The Buccaneers face the Tunisian giants at Orlando Stadium on Saturday evening, with the return leg in Sousse the following week.

“We have had video sessions to analyse them,” he says. “They are a good side, both technically and tactically strong. It’s going to be a difficult game, but we are up for the challenge.
“We just have to focus on our game and make sure we implement the coach’s plan, which is to try and score as many goals as we can without conceding here at home."
Etoile du Sahel arrive at OR Tambo tonight at 18h00 on a chartered flight, and will go back home straight after the game.
