Orlando Pirates have been warned as Black Leopards aim to take a leaf out of Baroka's book when they come up against the Soweto giants in their cup match.
Leopards will host Pirates in the Nedbank Cup, as confirmed at the draw to announce the fixtures for this year's the Last 32 stage of the prestigious competition.

Having already lost once to Pirates this season, during their 2-1 Absa Premiership loss at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in August, Leopards want to emulate Baroka by continuing with their giant-killing ways when they play against Bucs in the cup.
Speaking to the Siya crew, Leopards' team manager Elijah Mulaudzi has hinted on how the Limpopo outfit plan to upset the Soweto giants.
"If you want to be a champion you have to play against the toughest teams like Baroka have done. If you can check Baroka's progress, they beat the Gauteng teams and they went to the final and ended up beating Orlando Pirates. It's a good one because once we eliminate Pirates, we'll know that we'll have a chance against the other PSL giants, provided that they win their games. I mean, Cape Town City is going to play against SuperSport United and one of them must go down. I think there are two or three other all-PSL team matches in the competition. There is a possibility of beating those teams," said Mulaudzi.

Leopards, who are struggling at the bottom of the log with only two wins from the 13 matches they have played so far this season, have showed their intentions of wanting to improve their performances and results with signing experienced players in Robert Ng'ambi and ex-Bucs midfielder Lehlogonolo Masalesa.
Following the Nedbank Cup draw in Sandton in Johannesburg on Thursday, it has been confirmed that the Last 32 fixtures will be played from January 23-29, with the PSL set to announce exact dates, venues and kick-off times in due course.
