Watch as SuperSport United coach Kaitano Tembo and players Dean Furman, Bongani Khumalo, Thamsanqa Gabuza and Kudakwashe Mahachi speak to the media in the buildup to the Absa Premiership clash with Orlando Pirates.

Matsatsantsa come up against the Soweto giants on Wednesday evening at the Mbombela Stadium.

The fixture will be the second game of the league campaign with SuperSport opening their season with a 2-0 loss to Tshwane rivals Mamelodi Sundowns, while Pirates began with a 3-1 win over Bloemfontein Celtic.

While Pirates have been travelling to Zambia, where they lost 1-0 in their Caf Champions League first-leg qualifier against Green Eagles, Tembo’s men were hard at work in training preparing for the clash.
