Orlando Pirates have hinted at possible changes for their Nedbank Cup quarter-final match on Saturday.  

The Buccaneers will be involved in a tricky encounter against a side that besides being from the ABC Motsepe League, has managed to cause upsets by defeating big clubs in the DStv Premiership in SuperSport United and AmaZulu in the earlier rounds to reach the quarter-finals.

Bucs coach Jose Riveiro reiterated that the third tier outfit doesn't have to be taken lightly, especially with the plans the Soweto giants are having about going all the way in the competition.

"The switch to cup football could see few changes taking place in the Bucs camp, with the likes of Kermit Erasmus and Deon Hotto eyeing a return to the starting XI after featuring from the bench in recent weeks," Bucs stated on the club's official website.

"The visitors could also be boosted on the right side of the defence, with Thabiso Monyane and Craig Martin easing their way back to action as both look to make the match day squad after being briefly sidelined," said the club.
