Sergio Almenara Wants to Get the Better of Lowly Maritzburg United!

Sergio Almenara Wants to Get the Better of Lowly Maritzburg United! The Buccaneers will play against the Team of Choice today.

Orlando Pirates host Maritzburg United in the DSTV Premiership tonight. Assistant coach Sergio Almenara intends to claim all three points in the match.

The Buccaneers have been in a positive run of form as of late. They defeated Motsepe Foundation Championship side All Stars FC in the Nedbank Cup last week Saturday.

This win followed a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Mamelodi Sundowns the week before. The Bucs had been on a three-game winning run before the defeat to The Brazilians.

Maritzburg United on the other hand are in dire straits. They lost 2-0 at home to Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup last week, which followed a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to AmaZulu.

Fadlu Davids will coach against his former side for the first time since leaving at the end of last season.

“It has been a short week, in terms of the number of trainings [sessions], but we are ready to perform well against Maritzburg [United].” Almenara told the club media.

“We are trying to get the three points. We know that they are in need [of points], but this is football. We know that at the end of every season there are some teams that are fighting against relegation, other teams are fighting for titles, others for CAF positioning or to survive in the league.

“I think it’s going to be tough, the games in the next three months will be tough, but we are going to try our best.” The Spaniard concluded.

Kick-off tonight is at 19h30. Sergio Almenara Wants to Get the Better of Lowly Maritzburg United!
