Watch as Orlando Pirates assistant coach Fadlu Davids and players Happy Jele, Wayne Sandilands and Fortune Makaringe speak to the media in the buildup to the much-anticipated Soweto derby against Kaizer Chiefs.
The Sea Robbers come into the derby at the FNB Stadium full of confidence following their revival under Zinnbauer.
Since the German’s arrival the Buccaneers have climbed the league table dramatically with six league wins in a row, cutting the gap to rivals and league-leaders Chiefs to just six points.

Saturday’s encounter will thus have huge implications on the title race, with other contenders Mamelodi Sundowns – who sit second on four points behind Chiefs – are away on continental duty as they face Al Ahly in the Caf Champions League quarter-finals.
With Downs not playing in the league a victory for either could prove a massive confidence boost heading into the business end of the campaign.
