Orlando Pirates co-coach Fadlu Davids says the team has done analysis on where they need to target Royal AM.

The Sea Robbers bounced back from the Confederation Cup disappointment with a thumping 4-1 win over Maritzburg United at the Orlando Stadium on Tuesday night.

The Buccaneers have now turned their attentions to Friday nights clash against Royal AM before concluding the season on Monday against SuperSport United.

Pirates are still aiming for a second place finish with victories in their next two games giving them the chance to finish in second place on the log ahead of Cape Town City on goal difference to qualify for the CAF Champions League.

Speaking ahead of the game, Davids revealed that they have planned for their awkward opponents. 

“Good session in relation to getting used to the weather here in the KZN region knowing that it’s going to be a tough match. Quite an awkward side in relation to how they attack, us analysing exactly which spaces we need to use in our attack… Their defence, and the preparation is key in relation to that,” said Davids, speaking through Pirates’ media department.
