Orlando Pirates defender Innocent Maela is confident that the Buccaneers will return home with the required result to qualify for the Caf Champions League group stage.

The Buccaneers were forced to endure a dull goalless draw in the first leg last week and will be hoping to overcome the Namibian side in the return leg to secure their passage to the competition’s group stages.

Maela insists that he expects a tough game against Stars following their impressive performance at the Orlando Stadium last week.

‘They are a well coached team who have the slight advantage of playing in front of their own supporters‚’ Maela told the media.

‘But we are capable of going away from home and coming back with the result.

‘We have a number of players who have experience of playing on the continent and the same goes to our coaches who have seen it all on the continent.’
