The Buccaneers and Sundowns go head-to-head at FNB Stadium in a blockbuster Betway Premiership showdown on Wednesday.

Pirates head into the clash six points clear at the top, boasting 38 points from 16 games.

The Tshwane giants sit second on the log with 32 points from 15 games, holding a game in hand over the leaders.

Sibisi added that Pirates’ focus is simply on taking each game as it comes and maintaining the form that’s served them well so far.

“I think on Wednesday all will not be lost and all will not be won,” said Sibisi

“It’s another game of football, another 90 minutes. There will still be 12 or 13 games to go after this game, and it’s not only Sundowns and us [who are] in the title race; there are still other teams behind us.

“For us, it’s just to take the game as it comes, and I don’t think there is any pressure. We have been doing well up until now, so we just have to keep on going.”
