Could Orlando Pirates & Mamelodi Sundowns meet in the Caf Champions League & Nedbank Cup finals? Jose Riveiro relishing such clashes - 'It's going to be really good news for SA football'

Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns are still chasing trophies on three fronts each this season.

They are both still within chances of clinching the Premier Soccer League title, the Nedbank Cup and the Caf Champions League.

The two traditional rivals have already completed fixtures against each other in the PSL but could still meet in the other two competitions, something the Buccaneers coach Jose Riveiro is relishing.

“Hopefully this is not the last time that we meet this season, we still have the opportunity to meet again in two competitions and if that happens, it's going to be really good news for SA football," said Riveiro as per Sowetan Live.

"So I am happy with the development of the team for our young players ... imagine what this type of game means to Mbokazi, Nkotha, Rele and Radiopane ... it's so good. There's a lot of positive components in this game.”

Even if Pirates and Sundowns win their respective Champions League quarter-final matches, they would still avoid each other in the last four.

But if they both reach the final, they will clash in this decider and it would be the first to have Premier Soccer League teams meeting in the final of this competition.

In the Nedbank Cup, they will not meet each other in the semi-finals but in the event they progress past this stage, they would clash in the final, which would be a repeat of last season's match-up.

After the current Fifa international break, Pirates and Sundowns return to resume their Champions League responsibilities.

The Buccaneers travel to Algeria for a quarter-final, first-leg clash with MC Alger on April 1 while on the same day, Masandawana will be hosting Esperance.
