Orlando Pirates assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi has urged his charges to tread cautiously when they take on Golden Arrows tonight.
The Buccaneers are looking to pile further pressure on leaders Mamelodi Sundowns and narrow gap to nine points.
Jose Riveiro’s charges are beaming with pride after they claimed Soweto Derby rights over arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs, coming from behind to claim a narrow 2-1 win.
Abafana Bes’thende on the other hand are low on confidence after suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat at the hands of Stellenbosch FC and will be looking to pull off an upset to ease their relegation woes.
Ncikazi is aware what might be heading their way and would like to see the Pirates players go all out and claim maximum points.
“Playing Arrows can be very deceiving,” Ncikazi told OP TV.

“The position in the log is not the capacity that they have. So one, we have to be cautious – it’s a new coach, very astute with lots of experience.
“They’ve acquired quite a few players from Royal AM, so we don’t know exactly what to expect from them.
“Hence it’s important that we just concentrate in our game.
“How we analysed our previous performance, how we want to improve and better.
“And three points will be important.”
