Orlando Pirates midfielder Miguel Timm admits they lack inconsistency but insists his side do not lack the confidence heading into the MTN8 final.

The Buccaneers are set to take on AmaZulu in the final of the top eight competition when the two sides square off at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday evening.

Timm is relishing the chance to play in the final after he missed out on featuring in the Soweto derby after he was suspended for the encounter against Kaizer Chiefs

“Watching from the sidelines obviously cannot compare to being out there playing on the field and playing in front of so many people,” he said.

“Also, when I joined the Club my target was to compete for as much as possible in all competitions that are up for grabs. Making it this far was one of my short-term goals, so we’ll do our best to go on and win it.

“I think in every game that we prepare for we like to pay attention to our strengths.

“We have enough quality to set it up the way that we wanna do things. We’re focused on ourselves and not worrying much about what the opposition is doing.

“To be honest, we haven’t spoken much about them much. We know what we wanna do in this final. Obviously, there has to be a winner and a loser, and we’ve prepared as well as possible to go on and win on the weekend.

“The inconsistency has been evident, but we don’t lack confidence.

“We’re just learning to be as consistent as possible, especially when we get that bit of momentum. We’ve just failed to keep it. Looking ahead to the break and the second half of the season, it would be a good way to close the year on such a high.”
