Richards Bay vs Orlando Pirates: Time and where to watch as Bucs eye top spot

Orlando Pirates will play away to Richards Bay at a sold out uMhlathuze Sports Complex on Friday night looking to go top of the log.

With leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, with 56 points, and on CAF Champions League duty, Pirates, currently second on the log with 54 points, can move one point ahead with a victory away to the Natal Rich Boys.

The two teams will play in front of a packed venue as tickets are already sold out but for those who will not make it, the action will be live on TV.

Pirates have won five of their last six games, the only blemish being a 1-1 draw with Siwelele, and what is scarier for Richards Bay is that Abdeslam Ouaddou’s team have scored 11 goals in their last two games.

They thrashed TS Galaxy 6-0 just before the international break and put five without reply past Golden Arrows on Tuesday with Relebohile Mofokeng the architect on both occasions, netting a hat-trick against the Rockets, before scoring a double when they met Manqoba Mngqithi’s team.

That kind of form should worry Richards Bay, who ended a run of three straight losses with a 2-1 victory over Stellenbosch on Tuesday.

Fans can watch the match live on SuperSport TV with kick off time set at 19:30 on Friday as the Buccaneers look to put pressure on their title rivals.

For those not able to watch on TV, live updates will be on the clubs’ social media accounts.
