Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou says his side will strive to maintain their competitive nature until the end of the season.

The Buccaneers will look to make it two wins in a row when they take on Magesi FC at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday.

Pirates come into this match after claiming a 2-0 victory over Stellenbosch FC at Athlone Stadium on Tuesday.

The Soweto giants currently sit in second place in the Betway Premiership standings with 62 points from 27 matches, three points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

“This season we’ve tried to bring more competitiveness. I think the boys really did well,” Ouaddou said.

“Let’s see what the result will be at the end of this season. But the most important thing is to be competitive until the end. So for us, the dream is still here.

“The players are going to fight, and it’s possible, like I said at the beginning of the season, to fight until the last game and maybe the people will know the champion only after the last game.”
