Pirates finished last year’s Confed Cup in the quarterfinals.
Orlando Pirates co-caretaker coach Fadlu Davids believes playing in the Caf Confederation Cup last season has built the players mentality at the club. But has it?Pirates finished last year’s Confed Cup in the quarterfinals, after playing to a 1-1 draw with Raja Casablanca in the first leg staged at the Orlando Stadium, before they were thrashed 4-0 during the return match in Morocco, which saw their journey in the tournament come to an end.
Davids further says that playing in the continental competition has helped improve the level of play at Sundowns, who have become very difficult for Pirates to beat in the past few seasons. “Last season getting into the quarter-finals against Raja Casablanca playing to a draw at home then losing away, those moments helped the players to build their mental state and you grow as a team. We are learning from Caf where you play under difficult conditions.”
Pirates go into this match with Downs loss certainly still fresh in everyone’s mind at the club, while the Mother City based outfit will be high on confidence after their impressive 4-0 victory against Swallows in the second leg of the MTN8.
