Will Orlando Pirates vs Mamelodi Sundowns decide the league title?
Orlando Pirates will tackle defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns in their next league assignment on Wednesday, 18 February.
Orlando Pirates extended their advantage at the top of the Betway Premiership standings following last Saturday’s 3-0 win over Marumo Gallants at Orlando Amstel Arena.
With those three log points, the Buccaneers moved six points clear at the top of the standings, kicking off the second half of their league campaign in style.
Daunting prospect
Orlando Pirates now face a daunting prospect of tackling defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns in their next league assignment on Wednesday, 18 February.
Kick-off at FNB Stadium is at 19:30.
The Buccaneers could go nine points clear at the top of the table with a win, while Masandawana could close the gap to just three points, with a game in hand, if they end up on the right side of the result.
A draw would keep the gap at six points with just 13 matches remaining (for Orlando Pirates).
Won’t be decided
The Soweto giants are seeking their first PSL title since the 2011/12 season – and a fifth overall.
Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns are chasing a record-extending ninth consecutive title and a 16th overall.
While the title will not be decided by any outcome on Wednesday, the final score could well give us a key indicator as to the destination of this season’s trophy.
