Both the Buccaneers and the Red Devils have successfully qualified for the quarterfinals of Africa's premier club competition heading into the final round-robin matchup. Now, what remains to be decided is who will emerge as Group A's table toppers.
Currently, Jose Riviero's charges occupy the top spot in the group standings, leading their Egyptian counterparts by one point. However, with the Sea Robbers set to face the reigning competition winners in Cairo this weekend, that could change.
Of the 13 games the Club of the Century have contested against South African opposition at home in the Champions League, they have won 10 matches.
As a result, they are likely to head into Saturday's encounter with a lot of confidence, and their belief in securing victory will only be heightened by the return of two key players for the clash.
According to El Watan, Wessam Abou Ali and Khaled Abdelfattah will rejoin the squad after missing their most recent league win over El Gouna.
In the case of the Palestinian forward and Al Ahly's talismanic marksman, it is understood that he missed the league match due to fatigue and a lack of blood circulation.

Abdelfattah was absent from the 2-0 win because he was serving a suspension, but the same report claims that both players are expected to be included in the matchday squad for the clash against Pirates.
