Speaking to Soccer Laduma in the latest edition, 964, the man known as Juju in the local football sceney offered advice to Masandawana ahead of their encounter in Congo-Brazzaville.

"Sundowns has quality players. They've got capable guys who can do the job, so they can go there and score. I think an early goal will help to settle them and it will put pressure on AC Leopards."

Pirates faced Leopards twice on route to the 2013 CAF Champions League final and emerged with draw at home and a 1-0 win away, courtesy of a solitary strike from Happy Jele.

Juju added that planning would be essential to success for Pitso Mosimane's men if they are to progress to the next round in Africa.

"I trust Sundowns have made enquiries about the logistics. I know that Pirates always tried to get the players from the flight to the hotel as fast as possible so that they could get enough time to rest.

"Coach Pitso Mosimane has got the guys really hungry and I'm sure they'll also want to put a star on Sundowns' jersey," he told Soccer Laduma.
