The Guinean outfit has singled Justin Shonga as the Bucs player to watch closely, as the giant-killing side want to upset other former African champions from Mzansi after they did the same with Mamelodi Sundowns last year.
"In CL, it is the defence of Bucs that is highlighted. In the preliminary round, after being held at home by the Africans Stars of Namibia on December 15, they won 1-0 at Sam Najoma Stadium in Windhoek a week later," stated Horoya on the club's official website.

"It was the Zambian international Justin Shonga who scored in the 55th minute the goal which opened the doors of the group stage, the rear-guard of Orlando Pirates resisting to the end the waves of assault of the locals. We will have to watch this Justin Shonga very closely (translated)," added the club.
