Orlando Pirates will go in search of their first Betway Premiership win when they take on Marumo Gallants on Tuesday evening.
Betway Premiership
Teams: Marumo Gallants v Orlando Pirates
Date: 12 August 2025
Venue: Dr Molemela Stadium
The Soweto giants started their league campaign with a surprise 1-0 defeat to Sekhukhune United at Orlando Stadium on Saturday evening.
Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou went with the same side that started the MTN8 win over Polokwane City, but he was unable to get the same result.
Ouaddou will now look to claim his first league win against his former employers, who defeated Richards Bay 2-1 in their league opener on Saturday.
Gallants' win was also impressive after they lost Edgar Manaka to a red card in the first half.
