The encounter between Pirates and Magesi draws particular attention, not least because it falls on an unfavourable date for the Soweto giants. On the weekend before, Pirates will play the second leg of their CAF Champions League second preliminary round tie.

In addition, Pirates have a Premier League match both before the CAF fixture and immediately after the Carling quarterfinal.
