Pirates are currently second on the log behind Bidvest Wits. They are trailing the Students by one point and a win against Usuthtu will see them move to the summit of the log standings.

This was part of a sanction imposed on them for unlawfully terminating Namibian player Phineas Nambandi’s back in 2014.
