Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro is not bothered that his club struggled against Mamelodi Sundowns recently as the two sides prepare for a big fight in the MTN8 semifinals.

Pirates host Masandawana in the first leg of the semis at Orlando Stadium on Saturday . The tickets for the match are sold out.

Sundowns have won all the last meetings against the Sea Robbers while Pirates last recorded a victory over their rivals in 2020 January.Bullish Riveiro believes that will count for nothing when he leads Pirates on Saturday.“It’s the past and it is gone, so we are trying to look into the future by being optimistic, positive and understanding that this is a different story, different book.

“These are two good teams that are well prepared and well-structured with good players. So, probably nothing will be decided on Saturday and we have to understand that it's a 180-minute game.” While Pirates have not been lethal upfront, their defence has been impressive as they have leaked just four goals from nine games in all competitions.
