JUDGEMENT DAY
Orlando Pirates' bid to win the Premier Soccer League is faced with a massive hurdle as they host the Mighty Amakhosi. The Pie-Rats form has been improving in recent weeks and the Premiership glory means they have everything to play for.
Kaizer Chiefs on the other side have an outside chance of winning the league, but they have been inconsistent the whole season. I do not expect any thing spectacular from Chiefs....just a win against the Ghosts. Apparently this will be Muhsin Ertugral's last Soweto Derby.
Supersport United will be hoping for a draw as this will guarantee them the title.
My prayer is for Chiefs to win this match and give Supersport a run for their money. I wish the highly rated under-achievers Pie-Rats the worst of luck...I hope you close this season with an empty cabinet as always.
Here's how things stand in the Premier Soccer League at the moment.

Chiefs' win will move them to 50 points, just 4 points behind Supersport United and they will need to win all their remaining games and pray Supersport loses their remaining 2 games.
-
Pirates win moves them to 51 points, 3 points behind Supersport United. They stand a better chance of toppling Supersport than Chiefs.
-
A draw for either team will win Supersport United the league.
Someone please call 911 I've been struggling to upload pics and I guess my article will look dull. Damnit TVSA...I will keep on trying to upload the pics as soon as I figure out how this thing works.
