Mokeke views Bucs clash as a 'must-win': If Cape Town City want to finish in the top three and participate in CAF competitions, then their match against Orlando Pirates at Orlando Stadium on Saturday (3pm) is a must-win.
This is the view of midfielder Thato Mokeke as they prepare to visit the Buccaneers. The Citizens are eight points behind the Soweto giants in the DStv Premiership table with five matches remaining, but Mokeke feels they can still finish second provided they beat teams they are fighting for the top three with.
"We also want to play in the CAF competitions. We can still finish second because we are not far off from other teams, so if we win our games, then we will just hope one or two of the teams above us drop points.Eric Tinkler's charges have already defeated Pirates this season in the reverse fixture at Cape Town Stadium after coming from a goal down to win 2-1.
They've drawn four and lost three times and with the Buccaneers enjoying some great form, the 32-year-old admitted it would be difficult to get a victory but they are optimistic they can get a positive result.
