Speaking in the latest edition of Soccer Laduma, issue 969, the man known as Fire spoke of the Congolese side's poor away record in the competition.
"I watched the first leg and I think it's going to be tight. I'm glad the score line is 1-0, and not 2-0 or 3-0."
Masilela indicated that lessons should have been learnt by the Brazilians in their narrow loss in Kinshasa, if they are to conquer Africa.
"It's a wake-up call to the technical team to say that if they want to go to the next round of this competition, they need to win away games. That makes a big difference! That's why Pirates went to the final of the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup," he told Soccer Laduma.
Speaking on the game at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, the former midfielder stressed that Pitso Mosimane's men need to be hungrier than their opposition, if they are to overturn the deficit.
"We need to make them feel uncomfortable because, whatever they did to us there, we can do to them here.
"They need to beat AS Vita convincingly to show the other teams that are still to come that we mean business here," he concluded.
The Brazilians face the Congolese outfit at the Lucas Moripe Stadium tonight, with the game being scheduled for 19h30.
