Bucs will welcome Esperance Sportive de Tunis to the Orlando Stadium on Saturday evening for their eagerly-awaited top of Group B table clash.
"We are preparing to take on the defending champions of Africa's biggest club competition. We respect their achievements on the continent, but we are Orlando Pirates and the star on our badge represents the same great achievement. It will be the meeting of two champion teams who know what this competition is all about," Sredojevic told Pirates' official website.

"It's important that when we play them this weekend at home, we have a full stadium of fans cheering on the team. We need to take adequate advantage at home before going there because we are going into very cold conditions in Tunis. We need to get a good result because this will set us up positively in the group and give us an injection of motivation ahead of the second leg in 10 days' time," added the coach.
