PPSSLLLOLOGG

Dikwena face an Orlando Pirates side brimming with confidence following a 2-1 victory over AmaZulu sealed by a late Kermit Erasmus strike – his sixth of the campaign in the league.

In-form forward Lehlohonolo Majoro was also on the score sheet for Bucs, who occupy fourth spot going into tomorrow ’ s match at Royal Bafokeng Stadium (3.30pm).

“It ’ s a matter of us defending properly now. They [Erasmus and Majoro] are on form and they are going to keep us on our toes. We have to come out and make sure we play because we are at home. We have had a lot of draws, so we want to start getting those wins. We have to up our game,” said Freese.

Defending is not his only concern going into the clash.

“We are still not converting our chances. We created plenty of chances against Aces and we could only score one goal. We are hoping things will change against Pirates.
