3 Way - Orlando Pirates 19/50

Magesi face Orlando Pirates for the first time since they were promoted to the top flight of South African Football. The timing could not be worse for Magesi as they line up against a Pirates side that is in peak form. No losses in their last 11 matches and 7 straight wins across all competitions. They are at the moment the best team in South Africa by a country mile.

Although all the indicators point to an Orlando Pirates win, the Magesi CEO has stated in an interview "I want to promise The Chief of Moletjie, his Majesty Kgoshi Kgabo Moloto III (K3), and our supporters that we will give everything that we have on the day." Clearly Magesi intend on giving this match their all.
