Orlando Pirates are set for another crucial Premier Soccer League outing this weekend against TS Galaxy.

This will be a massive fixture for the Sea Robbers, who dropped points in their last outing against Siwelele, after playing to a 1-1 draw at the Orlando Amstel Arena, to surrender the top position to Mamelodi Sundowns, thanks to their 3-1 win over Marumo Gallants.

Why is the game against TS Galaxy important for Orlando Pirates?

The Sea Robbers are chasing their first league title for the first time since the 2011/12 campaign. In the last three seasons, they have finished second, behind Masandawana, who have won the last eight editions in a row.

After 21 matches, Bucs are placed second with 48 points, two less than the Brazilians, who will be away in Mali, facing Stade Malien in the second leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-final.

A victory for the Soweto giants will take them back to the summit of the table, having played an extra game. If the Soweto giants fail to win, then their chances of winning the league will definitely be low.

Why Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has an advantage

Pirates come into the match with all the players available for the game, as opposed to TS Galaxy, who will miss the services of the suspended Victor Letsoalo, who has been influential.

The only concern might be on the New Zealand international Andre de Jong, who is a yellow card away from suspension.

While Pirates will be chasing a double over the Rockets, having won their initial PSL meeting at Orlando Amstel Arena 2-0, their hosts will be going for nothing less than avenging that.

Where will Orlando Pirates play Galaxy and how can I watch?

The Premier Soccer League fixture has been scheduled for Sunday, March 22 at Mbombela Stadium.

Nevertheless, those who will not make it will have an opportunity to follow proceedings LIVE at SuperSport United, PSL channel 202 from 15:30 SAT.
