Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer has attempted to deflect the spotlight away from his team and said the pressure to win will be more felt by defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns ahead of a mouth-watering clash between the two sides on Tuesday.

Sundowns will play host to Pirates at Dobsonville Stadium as the Absa Premiership roars back to life with this blockbuster fixture following a five-month disruption due to Covid-19.

Sundowns are within touching distance of the top spot and they have no room for error with matches to come thick and fast in empty stadiums as part of efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. “We have prepared the team well and we will do our best to win points‚” said Zinnbauer speaking to the media on Monday via video.
