Orlando Pirates are different team in 2024 and with them finding the back of the net with ease this year. They are a team you do not want to face at the moment.
Their eye for goal has made them the second most prolific side in the DSTV Premiership. Trailing Sundowns by 6 goals for the most goals scored this season so far. they are in a state of flow, everything they touch turns to goals.
