Orlando Pirates head coach Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic says his charges should be ready for an unpredictable Highlands Park side on Saturday.
The two teams are set to clash in the 2019 MTN8 quarter-final match at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.
Pirates are coming into this clash having lost 3-0 to SuperSport United in a Premier Soccer League (PSL) match, while Highlands Park were held to a 1-1 draw by Maritzburg United in their previous league game.
