Former Bafana boss Igesund backs Orlando Pirates to challenge Mamelodi Sundowns

Gordon Igesund, who previously won the league title with both Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, believes the Buccaneers are strong title contenders.

Sundowns are the defending league champions and have won the last three championships.

In total they have won the Premier Soccer League (PSL) 10 times, with five of those coming in the past seven seasons. It was in 2007 that Igesund helped the Brazilians claim the league title.
