Orlando Pirates are just two wins away from clinching their first Betway Premiership title in the PSL era.
The Buccaneers currently sit second on the table behind Mamelodi Sundowns with 65 points from 28 matches.
With a game in hand and a superior goal difference, the Soweto giants have built strong momentum heading into the final stretch of the campaign.
Under coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, Pirates have pushed Masandawana all the way in the title race for the first time in nearly five years.
In recent seasons, Sundowns have dominated the league comfortably, often wrapping up the championship with games to spare.
Can Orlando Pirates end their 14-year wait?
Pirates could be crowned champions as early as this weekend at Orlando Amstel Arena if they defeat Durban City and Sundowns lose to TS Galaxy in midweek action.
Masandawana head into their final league fixture against the Rockets on Tuesday knowing that defeat could hand the title advantage to their fierce rivals.
Should Sundowns lose in Mbombela and Orlando Pirates beat either Durban City or Orbit College, the Buccaneers would move into a commanding position thanks to their superior goal difference and the possibility of winning all their remaining fixtures.
However, if Sundowns secure victory on Tuesday and the Buccaneers fail to win their final two matches, the Brazilians will be crowned league champions for a ninth consecutive season.
All eyes will be on Orlando Pirates this weekend at the Orlando Amstel Arena as they look to navigate their last two matches.
