Orlando Pirates v Mamelodi Sundowns 01

Absa Premiership

 

Teams: Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns 

 

Date: 1 April 2019

 

Venue: Orlando Stadium 

 

Time: 19:30

 

The Absa Premiership title race takes center stage this evening when Orlando Pirates host Mamelodi Sundowns this evening.

 

 

Pirates’ last game before the international break was a 2-1 loss to Horoya which saw them crash out of the CAF Champions League, leaving the league as their last hope of claiming a trophy this season.

 

In the league though, Milutin Sredojevic’s charges were held to a 1-1 draw by Bloemfontein Celtic, a result which left them three points behind Sundowns in third spot.

 

On the other hand, the Brazilians could take a giant leap towards winning the league with victory this evening, as that would take them five points clear of second-placed Bidvest Wits and six points clear of Pirates.

 

Pitso Mosimane’s troops were also busy with the Champions League assignment before the international break, as they lost 1-0 to Wydad Casablanca in Rabat, but qualification to the last was already confirmed.

 

Sundowns were victorious in their last league outing, with goals from Emiliano Tade and Lebohang Maboe securing a 2-1 win over relegation-threatened Maritzburg United.

 

 

Here’s how they line up:

 

Pirates: 30. Sandilands, 4. Jele, 21. Ndengane, 23. Maela, 28. Dube, 27. Motshwari, 14. Nyatama, 11. Memela, 3. Lorch, 12. Shonga, 17. Mulenga.
