WATCH | Ncikazi on AmaZulu and Orlando Pirates: ‘It's two desperate teams’

Orlando Pirates coach Mandla Ncikazi says his technical staff have to encourage the players to be calm in front of goal.Orlando Pirates co-coach Mandla Ncikazi has said his technical staff need to encourage a Bucs desperate for points to be calm in front of goal because “that’s the only way of taking the chances we create”.

Ncikazi admitted it was a case of two sides desperate for DStv Premiership points when the underachieving AmaZulu and Pirates meet at Kings Park on Wednesday . Both teams have been struck by an epidemic of draws — AmaZulu have nine from 14 games and Bucs seven from 13 — in the opening half of the 2021-22 league season.

Ncikazi pointed out both had dominated their previous games — both 0-0 draws, Pirates’ against Baroka FC and Usuthu against Royal AM — without converting that advantage into a victory.“If you consider how AmaZulu played in their last match, which I thought they should have won, but they couldn’t score. The same scenario with us in our previous match.

“We know they are a good side. But like I said, if Pirates play the way we are playing, dominate the match the way we dominate, and take the chances that we create, we have a big chance of taking the three points.
