We’re desperate for the three points – Davids

Orlando Pirates assistant coach Fadlu Davids believes it’s vital for the Buccaneers to earn a full three points against their tricky opponents.

“We have to get our league form on track. Getting that league form on track is picking up three points in Cape Town.” Davids said as quoted by Goal.

“We are not thinking about anything else but to pick up that league form and that starts with three points. A well-structured team, well organised in attack and defence. We really have to go there give the maximum to get the three points against Cape Town City.”
