Orlando Pirates striker Thobela Sikhakhane says he is relishing the chance to face Highlands Park in their next MultiChoice Diski Challenge on Saturday.

The Buccaneers MDC striker recently helped his side clinch a 4-2 victory over Ajax Cape Town reserve side in MDC on January 21.

Sikhakhane insists that his side will have to be at their best to beat the Lions of the North as they won’t be an easy team to overcome.

‘We have another important game which we must win on Saturday,’ Sikhakhane told the Orlando Pirates website.

‘Highlands Park are not an easy team to beat, we will have to be at our best on the day. We want to continue moving up the table and we can only do that by winning.

‘Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of games left so we have to capitalise on all of them. We are working very hard to keep our momentum so that we go into the game in a positive spirit. We are looking forward to the game.’

Orlando Pirates reserves against Highlands Park reserves kicks off at 14:00.
