Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou says they will not underestimate Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila when they meet at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday.

The Buccaneers will take on Motsepe Foundation Championship side TTM in the Round of 32 in the Nedbank Cup when they meet in Durban.

Pirates will come into this fixture after claiming a 2-0 victory over Magesi FC at the Orlando Stadium in midweek action of the Betway Premiership.

Ouaddou says his side are ready for their upcoming challenge and that they will respect their opponents as they look to secure a spot in the next round.

“It will be an important game for us. We do not underestimate any team in this competition and we are taking it very seriously,” Ouaddou said.

“About our opponents, I cannot say that we do not know anything about them when we are a professional team.

“We have maximum information about that team, and what I can guarantee you is that on Saturday we will have the strongest team to start that game.”
