Orlando Pirates have won four in a row to continue their push for a place in next season’s CAF Champions League alongside champions Sundowns.
In order to feature in the continent’s biggest tournament, they must end second on the PSL table. And they are currently doing what needs to be done.
The Bucs have won four in a row following their 2-0 win over Chippa United – Kabelo Dlamini and Thembinkosi Lorch netted the goals – which has seen them move two points clear of Kaizer Chiefs. SuperSport United are still holding pace with the Soweto giants as the season roars to a close.

ORLANDO PIRATES TO FINISH WITH 53 POINTS
Saturday, 22 April vs Cape Town City (H)
Home ground advantage will probably count fo a lot here. City have been in good form but have a tendency to wobble on the road. Perhaps a bit risky but we’re tipping the Bucs to win a tense battle. It would be a massive statement for Pirates.
Sunday, 30 April vs TS Galaxy (A)
Many won’t like to read it, but this has draw written all over it. TS Galaxy have good form and have found their feet in the second half of the season.
Wednesday, 3 May vs Royal AM (H)

It will not be a walk in the park but you’d expect Pirates to have too much in the tank especially at home.
Saturday, 13 May vs Sekhukhune United (H)
Another home game, another win. Pirates will be flying at this point and watching with glee as Chiefs face two tough games at home to close out their season.
FINAL DAY SLIP UP?
Saturday, 20 May vs Amazulu (A)
A final day away trip for Pirates and it’s not going to be easy. Not nice to say but maybe the pressure is too much and Amazulu bank a surprise win.
