Matchday 13 in the Betway Premiership pits two formidable opponents, Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates at Loftus Versfield Stadium. Sundowns sit atop the league standings, while Pirates are second on 33 points. Let's head into the match prediction.
Mamelodi Sundowns secured bragging rights in the Tshwane derby as they beat struggling Supersport United 3-0 at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Wednesday.
In light of that result, Masandawana has won nine consecutive matches in the Betway Premiership which has seen them maintain a six-point cushion atop the league standings.
The Loftus Versfield Stadium has been their stronghold this season. They have picked up all available 21 points in their last seven matches (W7) and are the only team in the league that has maintained a 100% record.
Orlando Pirates have bounced back impressively after losing 1-0 away to Cape Town City in early January. They come into this match boasting a two-match winning streak.
Their recent win came against Sekhukhune United on Wednesday when the team stormed to a healthy two-goal lead to secure a convincing 2-1 away win.
That result marked their fourth win in five league games, indicating a side that has been in consistent form. Away from home, the Buccaneers have won four of their last five outings.
