Orlando Pirates are on the cusp of finally ending their barren run, but it will only come to fruition should they win their remaining games, most importantly starting with the game against Cape Town City on Saturday.
The Citizens have proved to be a bogey team of Pirates in recent seasons, and Benni McCarthy’s utterances that he will look to have a say in the PSL title race could throw up an even bigger test for the Soweto giants.
While matches are not usually decided on history, the advantage that City hold cannot be underplayed or underestimated.
