All roads lead
to Maritzburg for the top of the table clash between Orlando Pirates and
Maritzburg United on Friday.
Milutin Sredojevic
and his charges head to Kwa-Zulu Natal today ahead of their encounter against
the Team of Choice who have had an impressive start to the 2017/18 season.
The Mighty Buccaneers
come into this encounter on the back of a hard fought victory over Ajax Cape
Town, while just as it looked like United would stretch their 100% winning
start to a third game, Amazulu striker Mhlengi Cele came along to score the
equaliser.
Both teams are undefeated in the league so far this season and
neither intends to relinquish that record easily. This makes for a mouth-watering
clash at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Friday night.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head
results between the two sides has Orlando Pirates dominating their PSL
counterparts 10 wins to 6 since 2006.
However, when
playing at home – United have fared much better in recent times. United are
undefeated at Harry Gwala against Pirates in the last three league matches;
winning one and drawing twice. Their most recent home clash saw Fadlu David’s
men registering a 2-1 win.
