With current league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns enjoying a break from Premiership action this weekend, the opportunity is ripe for Pirates to seize top spot in the standings.

Pirates find themselves neck and neck with Sundowns, with both clubs locked on 25 points. Sundowns, however, hold a slight two-goal edge on goal difference.

A decisive win for Pirates could catapult them to the summit of the league, further solidifying the impressive run that has seen them unbeaten since a loss to Marumo Gallants in August.

Pirates have enjoyed a remarkable campaign, amassing eight wins, one draw, and just two losses from their 11 league fixtures.
