Pirates hope to begin revival in clash against Tuks
The past few weeks have been far from inspirational for Orlando Pirates who have struggled since the begining of the season. Placed on 12th position on 12 points, the sea robbers can no longer continue dropping points as doing so could see them sinking into the relegation waters.
The Bucaneers this evening face University of Pretoria, a side equally eager for points given they are second from bottom with only 9 points.
Pirates have come under severe criticism from fans with Eric Tinkler admitting he is under immense pressure after a 1-1 draw with Platinum Stars at the weekend.
The Clubs management during the week met the technical team, an indication of the impact recent performances have had on one of the biggest institutions in South African football.
Wednesday’s showdown pitting Pirates and Tuks thus presents an exciting prospect for two sides desperate for maximum points. If the Bucaneers win they could rise into the top 10 depending on the outcome of the Ajax Cape Town Golden Arrows encounter. Whatever the case maybe, victory is of utmost importance as Eric Tinkler battles for surival.
