PSL Wrap: Ex-Pirates star hands Orbit College vital win as Siwelele frustrate Stellenbosch

As Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates currently engaged in a PSL title race, other clubs are looking for points to at least boost their chances of finishing the season in respectable positions. For Stellenbosch, they are trying to stabilise in the post-Steve Barker era, and dropping a point is a result that is not so much welcome. But Orbit's victory over TS Galaxy could be vital to their fight against relegation.

Richards Bay 1-0 Chiefs: 'Those coaches must leave our club; top eight fight begins'

The Soweto giants entered this encounter under heavy pressure after back-to-back defeats, and their concerns deepened with a pre-match blow as Inacio Miguel was ruled out injured. Amakhosi fans briefly had something to cheer about with Nkanyiso Shinga making his debut, but that optimism was short-lived as he was forced off injured. In the end, the result only added to their growing frustrations.

Officials to blame? Kaizer Chiefs were denied a legit goal!

Amakhosi fans are frustrated following their team's poor run in the last five outings across all competitions. The Soweto giants are at risk of ending the season trophyless after falling short in the Carling Knockout, Nedbank Cup, and, most recently, CAF Confederation Cup. Their only hope is in the Premier Soccer League, where they are facing stiff competition from Orlando Pirates and defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

Sundowns vs Arrows Preview: Kick-off time, TV channel & squad news

The Pretoria side will be aiming to settle scores with Abafana Bes'thende in a clash that promises excitement, as the KwaZulu-Natal team looks to bounce back after a disappointing weekend draw, while Masandawana remain steadfast in their title defence mission. Downs will need to win this game because if they drop points, that means they would have ceded some ground to title race rivals, Orlando Pirates.
