Orlando Pirates vs Stellenbosch FC: Confirmed Starting XIs and LIVE scores
Orlando Pirates are out to capture a top three finish in order to restore the club to continental football.
“I know we are not doing well in the league and it’s not a secret, so I’m not going to hide it,” said midfielder Miguel Timm according to Times Live.
“I’ve said we are going to fight until the very end. It’s fine Sundowns are on top, but we must focus on ourselves.
“We need to get back into Caf football first and foremost because that’s where we belong and, in the long term, challenge for the league.
“Sundowns didn’t win these things overnight, it took a long period of time and patience. We know where we are short and we know the work we need to put in. We just need to have faith in what we are doing and continue doing the best that we can.
“Not only for us, but for all the hundreds of thousands of people who are backing us to take the team back to the top.”

Steve Barker hasn’t been too pleased with his team’s finishing.
“I’m generally pleased, but we need to continue working on finding ways to get ourselves over the line, especially where we’ve been the dominant team in matches,” Barker said.
Barker is keen to keep his players fresh.
“It’s important to manage the players and their workload, especially after having travelled to Nelspruit and back to Cape Town, and with the team playing on Wednesday and then again on Saturday.
“It will be about utilising the squad wisely in terms of a rotation here or there, when required, but I think at this stage it’s a lot about mental refreshment,” Barker added.
