Orlando Pirates coach Roger De Sa says he has a good idea of what to expect from Zanaco on Saturday.
Zanaco hosts Pirates on Sunday in a CAF Champions League first round, first leg game at Nkoloma Stadium.
De Sa said upon arrival in Lusaka that he was aware that Zanaco would not be easy like Comoros side Djabal whom Pirates beat 9-0 on aggregate in the preliminary round.
“We had an opportunity to have a little look at them but not too much,” De Sa said.
Pirates scouts were sent out to watch Zanaco in Swaziland a fortnight ago where the side played out to a scoreless draw against Mbabane Swallows to advance to the first round 3-2 on aggregate.
“But we have got an idea but obviously at home in Zambia they must be different from what we saw,” De Sa said.
“At least we are not totally blind like we were in the first round against a team from Comoros but we know that they are a difficult team champions of Zambia cannot be easy.”
Meanwhile, Pirates have arrived without key defender and Bafana-Bafana 2013 Africa Cup hero Siyabonga Sangweni who is injured.
“He an important player he is not able to be here otherwise he would be here but through injury he is not here,” De Sa said.
Even Zanaco know what to expect from Pirates. We all have watched them so many times doing their thing in their local league, so what so special about them?
