Cape Town - Orlando Pirates caretaker coach Eric Tinkler admits to knowing very little about Sunday’s CAF Confederation Cup opponents, FC Mounana.

The Buccaneers will meet the 2011-2012 Gabonese champions in a second round first leg clash on Sunday (4.30pm South African time) at the Stade Augustin Monédan de Sibang in Libreville, Pirates being the only Premier Soccer League club still in contention in Africa after Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns both crashed out of the CAF Champions League.

Tinkler says it has been extremely difficult to find any information on Mounana, and as such could be set to adopt a defensive approach in the away leg.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
