Chippa United coach Thabo September has described Orlando Pirates as a “wounded lion” after they were stunned 2-0 by relegation-threatened Marumo Gallants on Saturday, expecting the Soweto giants to be dangerous when they meet in the league at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium tonight (7.30pm).
Bertie Grobbelaar of Stadium Management SA (SMSA) is confident their new ticket partner, Open Tickets, would be in a better position to minimise the growing phenomenon of counterfeit tickets when Orlando Pirates host Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium on March 16, albeit admitting there may be teething problems.
Relegation candidates Marumo Gallants and Magesi did themselves a huge favour in their fight to avoid the dreaded axe when they bagged victories against Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United at the weekend.
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso insists he is not focusing on the 18-point lead over second-place Orlando Pirates in the Betway Premiership.
Orlando Pirates assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi believes the title race isn't yet over, despite now being 18 points behind runaway leaders Mamelodi Sundowns after they were stunned by relegation-threatened Marumo Gallants.
Orlando Pirates are looking less and less unlikely to challenge Mamelodi Sundowns for the Betway Premiership title after suffering a 2-0 defeat, their fourth defeat of the season, against relegation fighting Marumo Gallants at the Free State Stadium on Saturday.
HALFTIME❗
Golden Arrows 1-1 Mamelodi Sundowns
Chippa United 0-1 Orlando Pirates
Cape Town City 1-1 TS Galaxy
Richards Bay 0-1 Sekhukhune United
SuperSport United 0-0 AmaZulu
