Orlando Pirates will be eager to return to winning ways when they host TS Galaxy in the Betway Premiership on Tuesday, 13 October.
The Buccaneers are looking to put their MTN8 final disappointment behind them after suffering a 2-0 defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns. Despite the setback, Pirates remain firmly in contention for the league title and will be determined to respond positively in front of their supporters.
With the league race becoming increasingly competitive, every point matters. Pirates will need to show attacking intent, improve their finishing and remain organised defensively as they look to get their campaign back on track.
TS Galaxy will not make the task easy. The visitors will be hoping to frustrate Pirates, remain compact at the back and take advantage of any opportunities that come their way.
For Pirates, the priority will be to turn their possession and attacking pressure into goals while avoiding the mistakes that could give their opponents a way into the contest.
A victory would provide a timely boost for the Buccaneers and keep them firmly in the hunt for the Betway Premiership title. However, they will need to deliver a complete performance against a TS Galaxy side determined to make life difficult for the hosts.
