Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates continue to slug it out this season as the Betway Premiership title race edges closer to the finish line.
Sundowns’ remaining fixtures
The defending champions did what champions do, grinding out a 1-0 win away to Durban City on Tuesday. The result leaves them two points clear at the summit with seven matches to play. Here’s what’s left for the Brazilians between now and the end of the season:

Pirates fixtures for the remainder of the season
Sundowns’ only threat this season comes from Orlando Pirates, who continue to keep pace. They beat Golden Arrows 5-0 on Tuesday, thanks to braces from Oswin Appollis and Relebohile Mofokeng, a result which also gave their goal difference a considerable boost.
