Orlando Pirates midfielder Andile Jali expects a gruelling encounter when they take on Bloemfontein Celtic on Friday night. 

Video: Orlando Pirates captain Lucky Lekgwathi chats about this weekend's MTN8 encounter against Bloemfontein Celtic

Bucs meet Siwelele at the Orlando Stadium – kick-off set for 8pm – and Jali tells KickOff.com it won't be a walk in the park for the back-to-back treble champions.

“Celtic is a stubborn team; any team we play is gonna be stubborn to us so that we can't defend our trophies, but this is part of the game. We will go there and win the game," Jali declares.

However, the midfield dynamo adds that Bucs are not feeling the pressure to continue their dominance on the domestic football scene, but instead their confidence is at an all-time high.

"There is no pressure, but the confidence is high … that much I can tell you; the mood is very high," Jali states.

With that in mind, Jali expects nothing but a win for Ezimnyama Ngenkani.

"We want our fans at the stadium so we can just win the game for them," he concludes.

I like the attitude and commitment, Jali is one of my favourite players because He plays the way I like him to play, nobody pass to him like a walk in the park, you have to change your direction or allow him to to over. He is the man. continue with your arrogance boy without it you won't be recognised. and please yes win that game for us.

Pirates is/ has/ will never be a media team or media family business but a community team. Getting media coverage isnt Pirates primary objective, but to make their fans happy is. So far so good.
