It's not a great time for Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro. Mamelodi Sundowns coming in the MTN8 final on Saturday.

The best match of the season so far is hours away. DStv Premiership champions will be hosted by Pirates at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday at 18:00.

Since the Spaniard’s arrival in Mzansi in June 2022, Riveiro has faced Sundowns four times. Three of the matches were defeats except for last season’s 3-0 victory in the MTN8 semi-final.“I’m fully focused on the final and I’m not the person who’s used to drama. It’s done [the previous results], it’s gone and there’s nothing we can do anymore,” he said via“We know we have to be prepared to execute a very good game if we want to be the champions one more time. That’s where our attention is.

“We look for the future. I think it’s an excellent opportunity for us one more time after a difficult period to be in the final, try to prove ourselves in a scenario like that,” the 46-year-old concluded. Will the Pirates tactician grab a second win in five games this weekend? Let us know in the comments section below.
