When are Sundowns and Pirates playing each other in the Betway Premiership?

Mamelodi Sundowns will host Orlando Pirates at Loftus Versfeld in a Betway Premiership match this Saturday, February 8. Kick-off is scheduled for 15:30. A win for Pirates would narrow the gap to just three points, but a loss could diminish their title chances with 15 matches still remaining in the season.

Having defeated rivals Kaizer Chiefs this past weekend, the Buccaneers come into Saturday’s clash with confidence. Given the fact that they are still in the CAF Champions League, this weekend will showcase Jose Riveiro’s real title credentials as his side face their biggest test of the season.

Sundowns have won the Betway Premiership seven times in a row, and it is now up to Pirates to provide a true challenge this season.
