Why this match matters

With more than pride on the line, first-placed Orlando Pirates are hoping to bag their first league title since the 2011/12 season, holding a slender one-point lead over Mamelodi Sundowns.

A win would tighten the Chiefs’ grip on third place and keep their CAF Confederation Cup qualification hopes firmly on track. The stakes could not be higher on both sides of Soweto.
