Orlando Pirates have kept just three clean sheets in 17 Absa Premiership matches this season, and tonight they face the league's best attacking team, Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Brazilians' attacking trio of Leonardo Castro, Khama Billiat and Keegan Dolly - dubbed the "CBD" after Barcelona's MSN (Messi, Suarez and Neymar) - have made a big contribution to the team's 35 league goals.
Dolly acknowledged the Buccaneers' resurgence after they avoided defeat in their last three league games and broke it to the top eight for the first time this season with a 1-0 victory over University of Pretoria at the weekend in Pretoria.
"We take each game as it comes and we give our all. For us it is not about focusing on other teams. We have our own style and we know what we are good at. We know our strengths and that's what we focus on as much as we know what they [Pirates] are capable of," he said.
The 23-year-old also shared his views on the deadly combination with Castro and Billiat, but added that Sundowns were not dependent on individuals.
"We started off slowly, but since Castro got to understand the way we move, things have been good for us. I'm happy that they [Castro and Billiat] are getting goals for the team ... But the whole team is doing well," warned Dolly, who has five goals this season.
Castro, who looked a potential flop when he arrived from Colombia at the beginning of the season, has five league goals to his name. Billiat is even more of a threat with seven goals under his belt.
Castro and Billiat were on the scoresheet when Sundowns beat Pirates 2-0 in a league clash in December at Loftus Stadum.
Quite in whose favour the timing of the game is is a moot point. Sure, Pitso Mosimane's Downs have not tasted defeat in 14 league games.
But the problem with unbeaten streaks is that they create two streams of focus for the teams chasing them: trying to win and defending the undefeated record.
Pirates' game could be affected by the absence of captain Thabo Matlaba, who is serving a one-match suspension.
Coach Eric Tinkler could call on Patrick Phungwayo to police the Bucs left defensive side.
