Pirates’ Title Hopes

Winning the Betway Premiership won’t be a walk in the park, and Orlando Pirates are in for a tough test on the final day of the season.

Orlando Pirates Face Crucial Final Match

After a disappointing draw against Durban City at Orlando Stadium, Pirates must win away against Orbit College to clinch the title. Orbit College, however, has its own reasons to push for a positive result – a win could see them escape the relegation playoff spot, depending on how Marumo Gallants fare against Stellenbosch. With Gallants and Orbit College level on 24 points, but Gallants having a better goal difference, the hosts will be fighting for their lives. Stellenbosch has nothing to play for, which might make Gallants’ task slightly easier on paper.

Orlando Pirates’ Transfer Plans

Orlando Pirates are reportedly making a move to sign Thabang Matuludi from Polokwane City, according to KickOff. This isn’t the first time the Buccaneers have shown interest in the 27-year-old defender, who has two caps for Bafana Bafana and a chance to make the 2026 World Cup squad. The club is also rumoured to be eyeing Siyanda Ndlovu as a potential recruit.
