Pirates to focus on ABSAPremiership

Pirates assistant coach, Fadlu Davids, says their aim is to collect maximum points in their remaining seven league matches starting with Monday’s top of the table clash against Mamelodi Sundowns.

It might a blessing in disguise for Pirates that they now only have the league title to challenge for.“We are extremely disappointed on the one hand, but now our focus is fully to the league starting with Sundowns match followed by the Bidvest match and two matches after that so we really have to try and get maximum points.”

As for Pirates, it will also be a chance to record a rare win over Sundowns at their fortress. Pirates have struggled against Sundowns at the Orlando stadium, but have done well against them in away matches.“We can’t say this is a title decider it will be showing disrespect to Bidvest, Cape Town City and Supersport who are all still in the race. I think the title race will be decided on the last day.
