Head-to-Head
The rivalry between Pirates and Siwelele only stretches back to the start of the ongoing season. The two sides met once in the Premiership before clashing in the Carling Knockout less than two weeks later.
Both fixtures produced their fair share of drama with the Buccaneers emerging victorious through last-gasp goals on both occasions.
An 80th minute strike from Oswin Appollis handed the Soweto Giants all three league points in Bloemfontein in the first ever meeting between the two sides. Defender Mbekezeli Mbokazi produced a similar decisive moment in their most recent clash, securing a quarter-final berth in spectacular fashion in the game played in Soweto.
Bucs Team News also reveal that,
“Pirates are locked in what is one of the tightest title races in recent memory as they set their sights on another three-pointer that will provide breathing space between themselves and defending league champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
A single goal separates the two teams at the top, with the Buccaneers placed at the summit following a gritty 2-0 win over the visiting Richards Bay in midweek. The victory was their third in a row and their 15th overall, taking their points tally to 47 in 20 league matches.
Maintaining their enviable defensive record, Pirates also collected their 14th clean sheet in the league this season with all eight of their home league wins secured without conceding.
They could further underline their ranking among the teams with the best home records this season with a win that will also see them crack the 50-point mark under the points column for the fourth consecutive season.
In their race to the finish line, Pirates could be boosted by the likes of Kabelo Dlamini and Sihle Nduli, who continue to make strides in recovering from injuries that have kept them out of action.”
