Orlando Pirates Face High-Stakes Clash Against Orbit College
Everything is on the line for Orlando Pirates in their final Betway Premiership fixture of the 2025/26 season as they take on Orbit College at Mbombela Stadium on Saturday, 23 May. The 2010 World Cup venue in Mpumalanga is set to host a make-or-break assignment for the Buccaneers, who are visiting a side with an equally urgent need for points.
Orbit College, also known as the Mswenko Boys, have a mission that is just as significant, with their immediate future as a top-flight outfit hanging in the balance. A win is crucial for both teams, with the match set to decide the destination of the Betway Premiership title and have a say in the scrap for survival lower down the table.

Three points are non-negotiable for Orlando Pirates as they look to end the season with their third bit of silverware. They are just two points off the summit heading into the final leg and only a win against Orbit College will secure the title. The Buccaneers missed an opportunity in their previous fixture, playing to a goalless stalemate at home against Durban City.
Despite this, they have maintained an impressive 12-match league unbeaten streak stretching back to late February. During this run, they have collected maximum points on eight occasions, keeping up with the pace in what has been a frantic title chase.
