Mandla Ncikazi Demands Players to Maintain Hunger! The Buccaneers visit Babina Noko later today.

Orlando Pirates will play against Sekhukhune United in the DSTV Premiership this afternoon. Assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi has rallied the players ahead of the encounter.

The Buccaneers are high in confidence after their 0-0 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns this weekend. The confidence is not coming from the result but from the performance itself.

Pirates showed a very good account of themselves after the match. Today, they are highly expected to grab all three points after such a performance.

Babina Noko is down in the dumps, after a less than satisfactory start to the league season. They are seen as very easy opponents for Pirates.

“It’s a different competition.” Ncikazi told the Orlando Pirates media.

“We played a cup match two days ago, but what’s important is that the mentality mustn’t change. Playing to win.

“Fighting to win for the team, which is what we observed in the previous match. Not much preparations from matchday +1 yesterday.

“[It’s] matchday -1 today, [but] what should be kept is the mentality of fighting for the badge and fighting to win and get the three points.” He concluded.

Kick-off at the Peter Mokaba Stadium is at 17h00. Mandla Ncikazi Demands Players to Maintain Hunger!
