Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, however, has not given up hope of winning his first league title since taking over from Jose Riveiro at the beginning of the current season. The PSL is a stronger league. Its very tight this season, its a marathon race. In a marathon, you dont have to calm down in terms of rhythm and winning, explained Ouaddou.We need to give our best in every game and take points. In the end, well see. Pirates have been in remarkable form heading into the international break, and the question now is whether they can pick up where they left off.
Their most recent league outing was a 6-0 demolition of TS Galaxy away from home on 22 March, a result that sent a clear message to Sundowns that they will fight until the end for the title.
Prior to the game against Galaxy, the Buccaneers beat Polokwane City 2-1 away, dispatched Richards Bay 2-0 at home and hammered Kaizer Chiefs 3-0 in the Soweto Derby at FNB Stadium.
