Oudaddou challenges Pirates to chase domestic clean sweep

ORLANDO Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has welcomed the challenge of competing on multiple fronts this season as his side turns their attention to the Nedbank Cup last 32 clash against Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday (kickoff 3pm).

The Buccaneers return to the competition still smarting from last season’s narrow 1-0 defeat to arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs in the final. However, with momentum firmly on their side, Pirates appear better placed this time around to mount another serious cup tun as they chase a third Nedbank Cup title in four seasons.

Fresh from an important 2-0 victory over AmaZulu in the Betway Premiership, the Soweto giants head into the weekend's fixture as clear favourites against ABC Motsepe League outfit TTM.

Despite the apparent mismatch on paper, Ouaddou insists there can be no complacency from his side, confirming that Pirates will approach the tie fully committed.
