Orlando Pirates will be hoping to boost their chances of qualifying for continental football again next season when they take on Maritzburg United in the first of the three games they are left with at Orlando Stadium tonight (7.30pm).
Pirates find themselves with a fixture backlog as a result of reaching the CAF Confederation Cup final, where they lost to Moroccan side RS Berkane on penalties on Friday, a day before the DStv Premiership campaign was official wrapped-up.
Winning all these remaining games with at least combined eight unanswered goals will see Pirates finish as runners-up and qualify for Champions League. Pirates would also finish third and earn a Confed Cup spot if they manage seven points from these three games, provided their goal difference becomes better than that of Stellenbosch, who're currently third on the table.
"We can finish the season on a high note. We want to finish the season strong because there's a possibility that we can finish 10th, that's something we'll be playing for. We want to put the club in a better position,'' said Daniels, who has featured 15 times for the Team of Choice in the league thus far this term.
