The tie is finely poised as the two sides couldn't be separated after a goalless stalemate in the first leg at Orlando Stadium.
Speaking in the build-up to Saturday's clash, co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi said he was confident his side had the capabilities to achieve a positive result against the Buccaneers.
"We believe that we've got a team that is capable of coming out of this match with a result," Mngqithi said.
"We are not going to take this game for granted, we know that the stakes are high.
"Every match that we play we always go into that match with the mentality to win, in this space it doesn't matter whether we concede or what happens, but if at the end of the game we've scored more than the opposition that is the most important thing because we always want to win the match."
Meanwhile, opposing Pirates coach Sergio Almenara insists nothing has changed in his side's approach against a formidable Sundowns side.
