Bucs Aim To Reignite Title Charge

Orlando Pirates will be looking to reignite their title ambitions in the Betway Premiership as they prepare to host Marumo Gallants today at Orlando Stadium, with kick-off set for 3pm.

The Buccaneers, who started the season with an impressive run of seven consecutive victories, are now facing a challenging moment following a disappointing home loss to Stellenbosch that disrupted their momentum and left them trailing rivals Mamelodi Sundowns by three points albeit with a game in hand.

Head coach Jos Riveiro's side finds themselves in a state of urgency, having not tasted victory in their last three outings across all competitions.

Following the setback against Stellenbosch, Pirates endured stalemates in the CAF Champions League group stage, drawing with heavyweights Al Ahly and Stade D'Abidjan.

This string of results has put pressure on the squad and intensified the need to secure a decisive win against Gallants this afternoon.
