Expect Many More 'Twists and Turns'

Cardoso: Consistency The Most Important Value

- Katlego Modiba

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso is expecting more twists and turns in the battle for Betway Premiership honours. The Portuguese made this observation after his team lost 2-1 to Orlando Pirates at FNB Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Brazilians, who have 58 points after 23 games, are still favourites to lift a record-extending eighth successive league trophy. The Buccaneers are 15 points behind the log leaders with four games in hand.

If Pirates win all their outstanding matches, they will be just three points behind Sundowns, which could potentially set up a tense finish to the championship race.
