Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane expects no favours from Bidvest Wits in the title race, but he’s banking on the Students being similarly unaccommodating to Orlando Pirates.

Sundowns enjoy a four-point lead over Pirates at the Absa Premiership summit with five games left in the season, and next host outgoing champions Wits at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday evening.
Bucs, in action tonight against struggling SuperSport United in Pretoria, will entertain the Clever Boys later this month at Orlando Stadium.
Mosimane believes Gavin Hunt’s men will reassert their pedigree in search of a top-eight finish and ticket to next term’s MTN8.
“It’s as [Bucs coach] ‘Micho’ says, every game is a cup final. We said Chippa we have to win, AmaZulu we have to win, Chippa we have to win. It’s like that, every game is a cup final,” said Mosimane.
“You know Wits will never allow us to win, let’s be honest. It’s a big one, it’s a derby. They have their pride, they have integrity. They want to show they can beat us.
“Okay we beat them at Milpark. Okay they don’t have a good record in Pretoria but at Milpark they give us a hard time, they sometimes beat us, let’s be honest.
“And ‘Hunty’ will never want to lose to us. So it’s okay, we might not win and I think they gonna do the same thing with Pirates. So it’s okay, it cancels both teams.”
