BUCS POOR LEAGUE START

Pirates languish in 13th place in the DStv Premiership.

Furthermore, they have won just two of their first seven league matches. With three draws and two losses to date. They have also scored just once in their last three league games. Meaning, their forwards are struggling for form. In contrast, Mabasa is the league’s top goal-scorer, with six strikes already this season.
