The Betway Premiership title race is reaching a fever pitch, and Mamelodi Sundowns are moving in for the kill. Following a weekend where rivals Orlando Pirates dropped points in the Soweto Derby, the “Brazilians” have a golden opportunity to leapfrog to the top of the table this Wednesday.
Standing in their way is a resilient Polokwane City side, hosting the defending champions at the atmospheric Seshego Stadium. For Masandawana, this is more than just a midweek fixture—it’s a chance to take control of their own destiny with their game in hand.
