Title-winning games

It’s still over three months when the two sides will meet, and who knows how they will be fairing by the time February comes around – there’s plenty of games to be played before.

Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi has recently questioned whether Pirates have the depth to challenge Masandawana till the end, telling FARPost, “I think I said it from the beginning in the launch that for me they are the team that’s going to be really pushing us,

“I hope and pray they do have the depth to carry themselves during the group stages and the league because I think that’s where the separation will take place because I do believe they are a very good team.

“They tried to rotate the squad, unfortunately it did not work out very well in the Carling. But honestly speaking I think they are a team that will really pose a lot of problems.

“But I still maintain that they are a team that doesn’t do well against small teams. So far, they have really done well but let’s continue and see because that’s where I think maybe the championship will be decided.”
