Baroka FC coach warns Orlando Pirates of tough encounter

DStv Premiership tail-enders Baroka FC will host Orlando Pirates in one of three league encounters to be played on Tuesday. Sitting in the last position on the log with seventeen points, Baroka will fight for their survival.

The match will be played at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane in the evening.

Baroka coach Kgoloko Thobejane says Pirates must anticipate a tough encounter.

“We want to win those games starting with Orlando Pirates. We need to save the team, we are not afraid. We have been preparing, [we] will come with our own plan – we need to take the team away [from the relegation],” adds Thobejane.
