Mamelodi Sundowns can inch ahead of Orlando Pirates in an intriguing title race when they next take the pitch. Here are the details.
Sundowns hope to return to the top
Mamelodi Sundowns, champions of South Africa in each of the last eight seasons, will be crowned as the nation’s best side again if they win their five remaining matches. They trail rivals Orlando Pirates by a single point, but have a game in hand. Next up for the Brazilians is a trip to Polokwane City on Wednesday, 29 April. Kickoff is at 19:30.
What about Orlando Pirates?
Pirates have a lengthy period to reflect on a somewhat disappointing draw with Kaizer Chiefs. The Glamour Boys took the lead on Sunday through Pule Mmodi, and Mike Sebelebele equalised with 15 minutes left on the clock. It’s not a horrendous result, but they’ll be usurped at the summit if Sundowns beat Polokwane on Wednesday. The Sea Robbers meet Stellenbosch in the Cape Winelands on Tuesday, 5 May. Kickoff is at 19:30.
