“We know what to expect. They have a good coach with a huge reputation.” Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro told Sowetan.

“They have a clear identity also in the way they want to play. You can see what the coach wants also and we know that it is going to be a physical game with plenty of duels.

“I don’t know how they are going to approach the match in terms of our set-up. Most of the teams seem like they are making changes when they are facing Orlando Pirates.

“It is good because we can focus on ourselves. We try to know as much as possible about the opponent and only change two or three things in our approach to the game because of the opponent.”

The Buccaneers have picked up seven points from their opening four league matches.

Jose Riveiro’s side can climb to the top of the standings should they pick up a full three points this evening.

SuperSport United on the other hand have picked up just one point from their opening three matches.
