Former South Africa midfielder Benedict Vilakazi believes Mamelodi Sundowns will have an edge over Orlando Pirates because of last Saturday’s Nedbank Cup semi-final match against Bidvest Wits which prepared them for the Premier Soccer League (PSL) task against the Soweto giants.
Pirates are yet to play a game since the restart of football in South Africa and have been doing their business quietly away from the public glare.
Now they are set for a showdown against Sundowns who stormed into the Nedbank Cup final following a 3-2 victory over Wits and will be playing their second match after football returned.
