Kaizer Chiefs sit atop the PSL standings with 48 points while Mamelodi Sundowns remain hot on their heels, with 44 points and a game in hand. While the title appears to be heading to either Naturena or Chloorkop, there is still an outside chance for the likes of Orlando Pirates and Bidvest Wits to challenge for the league glory. Only 10 points separate log-leaders Amakhosi from Bidvest Wits in 6th position.
While most PSL fans remain adamant that the title chase is a two-horse race, Orlando Pirates supporters felt that the Bucs deserve consideration as well. Answering an SL Radio fan poll, one listener responded, "Orlando Pirates FC can still contest for the league with Kaizer Chiefs FC and Mamelodi Sundowns FC."
Responding to the question "Who else in the Top 6 can challenge for the PSL title?", another Pirates fan stated, "If not Pirates then I have no idea who else deserves this league, come on we been through a lot this season, give this beautiful football playing team a break."
