Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch FC meet once more on Saturday on round two of their budding rivalry.

The two sides had their first encounter in the Telkom Knockout seven days ago, with the Buccaneers winning 1-0, thanks to a late Thembinkosi Lorch goal.

They square off a second time at Cape Town Stadium, where Stellies will be looking to build on their maiden Absa Premiership victory.

The top flight newcomers escaped the relegation zone the last time they took to the field in a league clash, beating Polokwane City 2-0.

Having lost to Pirates in the previous encounter, coach Steve Barker reckons they have a chance on Saturday.

“It’s going to be a massive occasion for the players taking on one of the glamour clubs of South African football in a big stadium no doubt set to be dominated by Pirates supporters, who will be wanting a repeat result,” Barker told the media.

Barker added;

“We now revert to the league, our form over the last few games has been good, so the belief is there that we can overturn the result and bag all three points,” he said.

“I would like to see us hold onto the ball for longer periods and be patient with our built-ups. And then to play with more thrust in their final third where they’ve been shaky defensively as seen by the number of goals conceded.”

Kick off is at 15:30.
