Ramokgadi: Pirates can only lose to themselves

Bruce Ramokgadi says the only team that can prevent Orlando Pirates from winning the Nedbank Cup final on Saturday is the Buccaneers themselves.

The Sea Robbers face Sekhukhune United at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Saturday evening.

If Pirates win against Babina Noko, this will be their third trophy in three seasons.Pirates have already won the MTN8 Cup in the 2020/21 and 2022/23 seasons.

This should be a walk in the park, they are overwhelming favourites Pirates," Ramokgadi tells KickOff.

"This will be a huge achievement for both the coach Jose Riveiro and the club because they will be the only team to win two trophies this season.

"And it was not an easy season because Sundowns were cruising in the league. It was not easy for Jose Riveiro to gel the players in one season because at some point they played seven games without losing.

"If they started the season the same way they finished Pirates we would be talking a different story when it comes to the championship.

"But what they achieved this season I would call it a success taking into consideration that at Pirates they don't get bonuses for winning the league.

"But as for cup games, the Pirates players will get themselves nice bonuses.

"I don't see Sekhukhune causing an upset on Saturday, if Pirates lose it will be because of their own doing.

"But as for Sekhukhune, they don't have firepower. The last time these two teams faced each other I was at the Stadium, and the goal they conceded Pirates it was caused by their bad defending.

"Sekhukhune they only had one or two chances. This trophy is written Pirates all over it."
