Moreover, this is similar to English Premier League outfit, United. This is because they have a huge following in England and all over the world. However, they have not won the EPL in over a decade.
BUCS STRIVING FOR BETWAY PREMIERSHIP TITLE
So far, so good. Pirates have won seven out of seven matches in the BetWay Premiership.
They currently sit top of the latest PSL standings. At the time of publication, the Bucs sit on 21 points, three clear of rivals Mamelodi Sundowns who have 18 points.
However, they have not faced Sundowns yet. Jose Riveiro and Pirates are desperate and hungry to win the title having last won the PSL back in the 2011/12 season. Therefore, this is their best chance since then. Furthermore, it is their best start since 1996.
