Pirates next face the ultimate test in the PSL, when they come up against Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday. Kickoff is at 15:30. Pirates have an absolutely atrocious recent record against the Brazilians in league encounters. Can they begin to put that right this weekend? Bucs fans around Mzansi will be desperate that they can, aided by a few new stars.
Orlando Pirates have won each of their last three DStv Premiership matches, and a win here would send them up to second in the log. Huge incentives. It should be a cracker.
