Defeating AmaZulu FC Will Secure CAF Champions League Football for Orlando Pirates!

Defeating AmaZulu FC Will Secure CAF Champions League Football for Orlando Pirates! The Buccaneers take on Usuthu in their next encounter.

Orlando Pirates visit AmaZulu FC in the DSTV Premiership this Saturday. A victory will guarantee CAF Champions League football next season.

The Buccaneers have drawn their last two league matches, against Royal AM and Sekhukhune United, both at home. Had they won these games, they would have secured second spot in the league.

Now, level on points with SuperSport United, their saving grace is their superior goal difference to Matsatsantsa.

This means that The Buccaneers have to defeat Usuthu this weekend to guarantee a second placed finish. Either that or they have to better the result of SuperSport United on the same day, at the same time.

“We need to win,” Riveiro spoke.

“Firstly, it’s going to be a difficult game, away. AmaZulu is an excellent team, so we need to think about how we are going to win the game.

“It’s the last game of the season. So, we need to win, we need the three points.

“We have a small minimal advantage but if you think about the scenario three months ago and the advantage that our opposition had in that moment, I think we can be proud of the performance of the team in the last part of the season.

“We are glad to be in the last fixture with the opportunity in our hands to be second. We are going to fight for that and that’s all we need to do.

“We need to win, hopefully with enough advantage to consolidate the second position.” He spoke.
