Orlando Pirates FC can all but guarantee their status as Betway Premiership champions with a win over Durban City on Saturday at Orlando Amstel Arena. The Buccaneers cannot mathematically guarantee themselves the title in their second last game, but their superior goal difference over Mamelodi Sundowns means that they can ensure it would take a laughable final day result to stop them from lifting the league for the first time in 14 years. Sundowns finished their league season early due to their upcoming two-legged CAF Champions League final against Morocco's AS FAR on May 17 & 24. A 3-2 loss to TS Galaxy in their final league game on Tuesday left Miguel Cardoso's side with 68 points from their 30-game season and a goal difference of +36. Abdeslam Ouaddou's Orlando Pirates have 65 points from 28 games and a goal difference of +44. Goal difference is the primary tiebreaker in the Betway Premiership, followed by goals scored and then head-to-head records. Sundowns picked up four points in two league games against Orlando Pirates, but that is highly unlikely to help the reigning champions in their title defence. Durban City have been buoyed by a recent Nedbank Cup triumph after beating TS Galaxy 2-1 in a Polokwane final on May 2. Although Pitso Dladla's side are seventh in the Premiership, they are guaranteed a CAF Confederation Cup spot next season. A shock win over Pirates would also guarantee MTN8 football. Should Pirates fail to secure the Premiership title this Saturday, they will have another opportunity next Saturday away to Orbit College. The venue for that game is yet to be officially confirmed, with Orbit having announced it is no longer set for Royal Bafokeng Stadium. The biggest question mark for Orlando Pirates is over the availability of winger Tshepang Moremi, who has not featured since the 1-1 Soweto Derby draw with Kaizer Chiefs on April 26 in which he picked up an injury. Expected lineups for Orlando Pirates include goalkeeper Sipho Chaine, left-back Deon Hotto, centre-back Nkosinathi Sibisi, and centre-back Lebone Seema.
