The 2025 Premier Soccer League (PSL) title race is reaching a boiling point. Mamelodi Sundowns currently lead the standings with 32 points from 15 matches. Kaizer Chiefs follow closely in second place with 30 points.
Orlando Pirates sit in third place with 29 points. However, the Buccaneers have played only 13 games. This games-in-hand advantage puts them in a strong position to challenge the leaders.
Domestic Dominance Under Ouaddou
Orlando Pirates have been the most successful side in domestic cups this season. Under coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, they have already secured the MTN8 and the Carling Knockout.
Before the AFCON break, they also defeated the Carling All Stars 2-0. This momentum has created a strong sense of belief within the squad. You can check the latest predictions to see how their upcoming fixtures might impact the log.

Moremi pointed to the unity and mood in the camp as decisive factors. He believes the love and support within the team will see them finish ahead of Chiefs and Sundowns.
The Next Challenge
The race continues this Saturday at the Orlando Amstel Arena. Orlando Pirates host Magesi FC in a crucial encounter. The Buccaneers cannot afford to drop points if they want to capitalize on their games in hand.
The focus remains on maintaining the high standards set in their cup-winning campaigns. Moremi and his teammates are determined to bring the league trophy back to Orlando for the first time in over a decade.
