'Orlando Pirates are tired and angry, Baroka FC have more energy' - Matsimela

The Buccaneers' bid to secure a place in Africa next season is again under threat from another mid-table side

Baroka FC coach Thoka Matsimela feels that they are in better standing, fitness-wise and psychologically, than Orlando Pirates ahead of the two sides’ Premier Soccer League clash at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday.

The Limpopo side, ninth on the PSL table, host a Pirates side placed fourth and battling to secure a spot in the top three as they are tied on 46 points with Golden Arrows in third.

Matsimela says they would want to take advantage of the Soweto giants who, of late, have been involved in a punishing fixture schedule and are reeling from the frustration of losing to TS Galaxy last Sunday.
