The Buccaneers will look to re-assert themselves when they welcome Sfaxien to Orlando Stadium in the return leg of their Group B clash and secure a spot in the semi-finals.
The Sea Robbers came away with all three points from their trip to Tunisia in their last CAF Confederation Cup encounter thanks to a gutsy 1-0 win.
Rakhale, who scored a magnificent chip to hand Pirates that win, is expecting another hard fought battle against their North African counterparts.
"It's going to be a tough encounter. We need a win to move closer to the semi-finals of the tournament," Rakhale told Soccer Laduma.
"Obviously it won't be an easy game as they feel they still have a chance in the tournament, so we need to win. But we won't be putting ourselves under pressure at all. We will just play our normal game and make sure we win," he added.
