Davids – How To Beat ‘Awkward’ Baroka

Orlando Pirates co-coach Fadlu Davids has explained how difficult it is to play against Baroka FC.

The Buccaneers will face a Bakgakga who are fighting for their survival in the DStv Premiership, sitting right at the bottom with 17 points after 24 games.

However, the the Bucs co-coach insisted that it will not be an easy game, despite Baroka’s log position.

‪”We face a tough opponent in Baroka,” Davids told Pirates Media

“Really a team that is fighting for their lives. Every point they will get is important to them, so we know what type of match it is going to be.

“They are quit a dynamic team, awkward team in relation how they setup in their mid-zone block but also ready to press at any moment.

“So we really have to be prepared to be able to unlock their defence, not concede any goals in transition, score goals to be able to get three points‬.”

Pirates hope to keep their second-place hopes alive as they will face Baroka on Tuesday night before they travel to Tanzania for their CAF Confederations Cup clash against Simba SC.

The Buccaneers currently sit in fifth spot on the DStv Premiership log, one point behind Cape Town City and Kaizer Chiefs, and five behind second-placed Royal AM.
