Orlando Pirates coach Roger de Sa is hoping to buck his side's recent slump ahead of their PSL clash against Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday.

The Sea Robbers have won just one of their last four matches and were most recently dumped out of the Telkom Knockout on penalties after they had conceded a 3-1 lead against Bloemfontein Celtic.
The Buccaneers next head to Tshwane to face Sundowns, who, despite struggling in the PSL this season, booked their place in the Ziwa Mo semi-finals with a 2-0 victory over Maritzburg United.
"We cannot carry on like this," De Sa told Pirates' official website. "We missed a lot of chances (against Celtic) and at the end we were punished for our wastefulness in front of goal.
"Coming into this game against Sundowns we need a change of attitude. Matches are only won after the final whistle and that's why the players need to play hard until that final whistle."
Looking ahead to the midweek tie, he added: "This will be a different match and we will try our best to get maximum points.
"It is never going to be easy for us to try getting full points from a team like Sundowns but I think the guys will be ready to fight - we need the three points and we will fight for it."
