Two powerhouses in South African football, Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, are set to lock horns at Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium on matchday 11 of the Betway Premiership. Sundowns are in first place in the league standings, while Pirates are in second place. Here's our match prediction.
Mamelodi Sundowns have not played a league game since beating Richards Bay 4-1 at home on September 27. Instead, the South African giants have been coping with the workload of the CAF Champions League and domestic cup duties in October.
Masandawana began the month with a setback against Marumo Gallants, losing 7-6 on penalties in the Round of 16 of the Telkom Knockout. After that, a 7-1 aggregate success over Remo Stars in the CAF Champions League second qualifying round followed.
Turning the attention to league action, Miguel Cardoso's men have suffered one defeat in their last ten games and have won four of their last six matches.
Orlando Pirates are full of confidence after recording a 2-1 home victory against Magesi in the quarter-finals of the Telkom Knockout. This served as consolation for their setback against FC Saint-Eloi Lupopo in the CAF Champions League second qualifying round.
The Buccaneers now shift their focus to the league, where they've been in truly outstanding form. Last time out, a 1-0 home victory against Polokwane City extended their winning streak in this competition to six games.
