BackpagepixOrlando Pirates are out to restore a three-point gap between them and Premier Soccer League leaders Mamelodi Sundowns when they face Magesi FC at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday.
Fresh from the emphatic 8-1 Christmas Eve win over Marumo Gallants, Pirates face Magesi who are at the foot of the PSL table.

BackpageAnother player who surprisingly came out of the Gallants match without a goal of his own, Mofokeng can be a pain to Magesi defenders.
BackpageThe absence of suspended Tshegofatso Mabasa who was the hat-trick hero the last time around leaves Makgopa with a responsibility to up his game.
