Pirates v Sundowns result
Mamelodi Sundowns will be desperate to reclaim top spot in the DStv Premiership when they visit rivals Orlando Pirates on Sunday afternoon.
The match will get underway at 15h00.
Sundowns will be under pressure to regain their top spot after they were leapfrogged by AmaZulu, who edged Golden Arrows 1-0 on Saturday.
The Brazilians have not been getting the desired results lately, as they are winless in their last three league matches, the last of which was goalless draw against Arrows on Wednesday.
On the other hand, Pirates will also be fired up to respond to the 4-1 thrashing they received against Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals just over two weeks ago.
The Buccaneers' chances of qualifying for the CAF Champion League are slipping away after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Swallows last weekend and find themslelves in fifth spot.
Sundowns will be chasing a league double over Pirates claiming a 1-0 victory in the first round clash in January this year.
