Orlando Pirates are not in PSL title race but need three points from Kaizer Chiefs - Jele

Orlando Pirates captain Happy Jele has insisted his team are not in the running for this season's PSL title ahead of the Soweto Derby clash.

The Buccaneers are scheduled to take on their archrivals Kaizer Chiefs in a top of the log clash at FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Bucs have revived their hopes of winning the title in recent months by winning six successive matches and they are now placed third on the league log - six points behind the leaders, Chiefs.
