They would be hoping for the availability of their key players like Libya international centre-back Ahmed El Trbi and veteran goalkeeper Muhammad Nashnoush, as well as Tunisian midfielder Ayoub Ayed who is on loan from Etoile du Sahel. Coach Fathi Al-Jabal will also be banking on Moroccan midfielder Mohammad El Fakih who has been one of their outstanding players. Match PreviewPirates arrived in Benghazi on the backdrop of a two-match winless run on the domestic scene after drawing 0-0 against Chippa United, before losing 1-0 to TS Galaxy. Those results came after they sneaked into the Confederation Cup semi-finals after dismissing Simba SC via a penalty shootout. Their opponents got past the quarter-finals after knocking out fellow Libyans Al Ittihad.
Handling games of such magnitude would need a mentally strong Pirates who arrived in Libya without any players suspended. They are, however, praying for the return of defender Olisa Ndah who limped off in their Premier Soccer League match against Chippa United and then missed last Monday’s 1-0 defeat away at TS Galaxy. Apart from Paseka Mako who has been ruled out for the rest of the season, Pirates have no other injury worries. Attacker Vincent Pule could play after recovering from a long-term thigh injury. Just like Pirates, the Libyans have no suspended players in their camp.

Last weekend’s 2-1 defeat by Chippa United was a setback for the Soweto giants who had picked up some good form by managing three successive league victories. But now they take to the field wary of the grim prospect of suffering two consecutive defeats which is something they have not experienced this season. What makes Wednesday’s assignment tricky for Chiefs is that they are facing a desperate TS Galaxy. The Rockets have two points more than basement side Swallows FC and they could find themselves at the foot of the table if the Birds, Cape Town City, Marumo Gallants and Maritzburg United win their respective matches on the same evening.

Match PreviewAlthough TS Galaxy are on a seven-match winless streak, they have established a reputation as Chiefs’ bogey side. They haunted the Soweto giants in February when they knocked them out of last season’s Nedbank Cup. The Rockets’ last league visit to FNB Stadium yielded a 0-0 in April after also holding Amakhosi 0-0 in the reverse fixture in the opening match of last season. What could also make Amakhosi worried is that Galaxy stunned Sundowns with a 1-0 win at Loftus Versfeld earlier on in this campaign. With the Mpumalanga-based side having also played Pirates this term, and although they lost, that could make them a battle-hardened side.
