New-look and newly renamed Orlando Armstel Arena stadium will host first 2026 Betway Premiership home game for Orlando Pirates FC against Magesi FC.
This climacteric and decisive encounter for Bucs will open its doors for their spectators for the first time.
Importantly Ezikamagebhula will have to beat their opponent convincingly if they are harbouring any hopes of climbing back to the summit of the Betway Premiership table.
Head-to-Head
Pirates and Magesi are meeting in the league for the first time this season, having only crossed paths in knockout football thus far. It was the Buccaneers who were victorious in that encounter, winning 2-1 to progress to the semifinals of the Carling Knockout.
As things stand Magesi are relegation candidates, while Pirates are sitting third on the log with two games in hand compared to log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
Midweek, Pirates Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou told a packed media at Rand Stadium they have prepared fantastically and are ready for the game.
“We are doing everything to win that game. It will not be easy Magesi is a brave team, very compact with strong team spirit. We have prepared mentally physically and tactically. We are ready and want to start the year in a good shape in front of our fans.”
Bucs Captain, Nkosinathi Sibisi, said, “The preparation started well “Its back to our bread and butter Betway Premiership We are looking to play at home in front of our supporters.”
