Pirates Poised to Go Clear Atop Premiership With Durban City Trip

A sustained surge powered by bench impact positions Orlando Pirates as the league’s form side.

Overview

  • A win at Moses Mabhida on 29 November would move Orlando Pirates three points clear of Mamelodi Sundowns at the summit.
  • After two early league defeats, Pirates have dropped only two points in nine matches, lifted the MTN8, and reached the Carling Knockout final.
  • Substitutes Evidence Makgopa and Oswin Appollis scored in the 2-0 win over Chippa United, with Kabelo Dlamini assisting, underscoring a squad that supplied eight players to Hugo Broos’ latest Bafana selection.
  • Pre-match indicators favor Pirates as Betway prices them at 1.68 to win, while Durban City have struggled for goals with 11 in 13 league games.
  • Defender Mbekezeli Mbokazi is reportedly in talks over a €3 million transfer to MLS side Chicago Fire, according to local reports.
