They face them twice in the two-legged tie of the MTN8 semi-finals and also in a midweek Betway Premiership match.

The Wafa Wafa first leg match is today at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.

"We don’t have to jump the steps, we just have to feel for this game, MTN8 to prepare well, away, Polokwane, how we want to attack, how we want to imbalance that opponent, how we want to defend against that opponent,” said Ouaddou.

“And to give our best to bring the best result because we still have one game. And after it will be time to focus for the league.

“But let me tell you that when you are playing for Pirates, or when you are working for Pirates, the target is to play three games and you have to win three games in a row which will not be easy."

The game starts at 3pm.
