The South African Premier Soccer League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Orlando Pirates take on TS Galaxy at the Mbombela Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have had their problems in recent weeks and need to win this game.
Orlando Pirates are in fourth place in the South African Premier Division and have been fairly impressive this season. The Buccaneers edged AmaZulu to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will want a similar result from this fixture.
TS Galaxy, on the other hand, currently find themselves in ninth place in the league table and have had an inconsistent year. The home side suffered a 3-0 defeat against Golden Arrows last week and will look to bounce back this weekend.
TS Galaxy vs Orlando Pirates Head-to-Head
TS Galaxy do not have much experience against Orlando Pirates and have only played one match against the Buccaneers. The home side is yet to defeat Sunday's opponents and could create history this weekend.
The only game between the two teams took place in January earlier this year and ended in a 1-1 draw. Orlando Pirates were well below their best on the day and cannot afford to drop points in this match.
