Their next match in Orlando this afternoon is against Polokwane City who are on a good run with two victories in two matches so far in the campaign, and are sitting comfortably in second place on the standings above defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
So far in their League campaign, Bucs have collected three points from their 2-1 win over Chippa United last Wednesday and are fifth on the log though tied on points with several other teams.
With the team oozing with confidence after making it through to the group stages of the CAF Champions League following their 1-0 win (3-0 on aggregate) over Jwaneng Galaxy on Saturday, a return to the Orlando Stadium should serve as a motivation for Bucs to keep their supporters happy.
