More worryingly for the Mayfair side is the fact that they’ve failed to find the back of the net in all three matches.

AmaZulu on the other hand will be looking to get their account running in positive fashion under new coach Romain Folz.

They’ve picked up just 11 points from their opening nine league matches.

“I am a super optimistic person. And I am sure that the breakdown is coming very soon.” – Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro told Citizen.

“The moment we get the confidence and determination to start games like we did today, in a consistent way. Orlando Pirates are going to be at the top, if not close.

“Like I said, it’s a tough competition. You can see how difficult it is to win one game in the league or score one goal.

“Nobody is getting easy wins. We are still in the first part of the competition and October is going to be long for everyone in the league as well.”
