Wits knocked Pirates out of the first round of the MTN8 early in the season with a 2-1 win. They then beat them with the same scoreline in a league fixture, however, going into this tie, Jele says it won’t be about revenge.
“Yes, they (Wits) have beaten us two times this season, but I don’t see them beating us for the third time this time around. There is no doubt that they have been a much competitive team this season that has given us a tough time,” the defender was quoted as saying by Vodacom soccer.
“But we have gradually regained our form under coach Kjell Jonevret, and we are prepared to go all out in fighting for vital points in our five remaining games.
“So, we are not going for revenge against Wits, but for vital points that we badly need.”
Jele added that the club’s remaining fixtures are very crucial, with a mouth-watering clash against other title contenders Mamelodi Sundowns coming three days later after playing Wits.
“We are left with five crucial games to finish the season, and to consolidate our top-eight berth we will need to come out with vital points from these remaining games.”
