Josef Zinnbauer has challenged his side to be lethal in front of goal for their MTN8 quarter-final clash with Swallows this weekend.
Pirates drew both DStv Premiership games with the Dube Birds last season, but there will need to be a winner on Saturday, with Zinnbauer determined to come out on top.
The Bucs boss has been hard at work strengthening his side with the signings of Kwanda Mngonyama, Bandile Shandu and Goodman Mosele, alongside Monnapule Saleng – who has since joined Swallows on loan.
Ahead of the upcoming encounter, Zinnbauer said on Kick Off: “I think we need the goals, we had the chances in the last two games – so did Swallows but I think we were a little bit ahead in chances – but we didn’t score and this is the reason we need the goals.”
He added: “Both games were good, the first game had a lot of water on the field, more than is typical, but in the second leg, in the away game they were ahead and we had a little bit of luck as well, you need a bit of luck of the draw.
“We have another chance and if we have chances then I’m happy, but I will be happier if we get the goals and win the game.
“This is not a league game, though. This is a game that you have to win. We cannot say now that we can draw, it is not possible, we have to go forward and we have to win the game. It is a different game.”
