'I don't know if Pirates are the favourites'
GQEBERHA, SOUTH AFRICA - MAY 04: Makhehleni Makhaula of Orlando Pirates during the Nedbank Cup semi final match between Chippa United and Orlando Pirates at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on May 04, 2024 in Gqeberha, South Africa. Chippa United believe they do stand a 'slight' chance of causing an upset against Orlando Pirates in what is a Betway Premiership season opener for both sides on Wednesday.
"But we prefer to focus more on ourselves. It's the first game for us, so we need to do certain things right and manage the game right to be able to play our game. "But ja, we expect a good game. We expect a good tempo from them since they've been playing," adds the former centre-back. Asked about carrying the 'underdog' tag, September says the Chilli Boys have the belief that they can come away with something from the match. "They are playing at home, but I don't know if they are the favorites. At Chippa, we believe in what we have.
"But yes, they can be favourites. Remember, they finished second last season on the log table, and they haven't lost any of the games they have played so far."There will always be chances of beating your opponent in football though. So, we don't know how big the chances are, but there is always a chance to beat anyone.For 14 free days, you can have access to the best from Soccer Laduma, KickOff, Daily Sun, TrueLove and Drum.
