Many Orlando Pirates fans, if not all, will all agree with Hleza Mofedi's prediction for the team's CAF Confederation Cup final against Etoile du Sahel this Sunday.

The former Pirates midfielder is confident that Pirates have a chance to win the second leg game in Tunisia, despite the impressive home record of their opponents.
However, Mofedi hasn't been impressed with some of the players and their contribution in certain areas of the Pirates line-up, including the team's defence.
"I think Pirates is going to win if the team is going to work well together, especially in our defence. For me, our two centre backs haven't been impressive in recent matches. Siyabonga (Sangweni) has been making mistakes at the back. In three consecutive games he made the same mistake in the same position.
"The goalkeeper (Felipe Ovono) has been very good and has been helping the team. Sangweni can't run to the required standards anymore. Those guys (Du Sahel) can run. There's Ayanda (Gcaba) as well. It looks like they (Gcaba and Sangweni) don't communicate well.
"That team wasn't strong, it's just that the free kick we conceded cost us. The disappointment was that we had our players facing their own goal posts after that free kick was taken. As a defender you can't do that, you have to face the ball and the opponents.
"I think we will win this upcoming game if we can stop conceding set pieces in front of our goals. (Kermit) Erasmus has to be more involved and assist (Thamsanqa) Gabuza. I'm happy with the midfield.
"I wish they can start with (Sifiso) Myeni and rest Bibo (Mpho) Makola. Issa Sarr can play (in place of suspended Thandani Ntshumayelo), but he tends to lose too many balls quite easily. If he can rectify that I think he will be fine. We will win this game, you should watch and see. Whether it will be 2-1 or 3-2, we will win," said Mofedi.
