Mandla Ncikazi urges Orlando Pirates to focus on themselves for Mamelodi Sundowns showdown

The Buccaneers will be looking to extend their six-match winning streak in the league with a victory at the Loftus Versfeld with Sundowns currently topping the table with 21 points, three more than Pirates in third position.

“It's another match that’s got a value of three points,” said Ncikazi on the club's X account.

"We just have to look at our own performance; we just have to apply ourselves correctly and get the motivation in our team. We do that we perform, it doesn't matter to the opponent, but it becomes more about us and the performance and the application. We do that, the value of three points will definitely come our side."

The teams will be meeting for the third time this season following their MTN8 semi-finals clashes, where AmaBhakaniya defeated Masandawana on penalties. 

Kick-Off is at 15h00.
