Orlando Pirates must address defensive and midfield vulnerabilities despite impressive start

Orlando Pirates are currently at the top of the Betway Premiership and are set to face Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 final. Although they have scored 16 goals and conceded only two in their first seven matches, injuries to Thalente Mbatha and Sihle Nduli highlight vulnerabilities in defense and midfield. Their upcoming CAF Champions League opponent, La Cure Sylvester, should be wary of this team that, despite its weaknesses, has shown impressive offensive potential.
