Orlando Pirates are feeling the pressure in the Premier Soccer League title race after their recent 1-1 draw with Siwelele, placing them just a point ahead of rivals Mamelodi Sundowns.
With Sundowns having a game in hand midweek, a win could see them open up a two-point gap, putting Orlando Pirates on the back foot.
Mamelodi Sundowns' dominant performance in the CAF Champions League quarter-final against Stade Malien has given them an advantage, allowing them to focus on their upcoming league clash with Marumo Gallants.
The potential loss of former star Mohau Nkota to a development loan has added to Orlando Pirates' concerns heading into the last nine matches of the season against a strong and focused Sundowns side.
As the race intensifies, the pressure is mounting on Orlando Pirates to push back and challenge Mamelodi Sundowns for the Premiership title.
