Sports journalist Uche Anuma told Briefly News in an exclusive chat the three things the Buccaneers need to do this season to end Sundowns' dominance in the South African top-flight league.

"The start of the season has shown that Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns are the two teams expected to battle for the Betway Premiership title this season," he said.

"Sundowns are defending champions and will want to continue their dominance in the league by making it eight consecutive titles.

"Pirates have the capability and a quality squad and coach to end the Brazilians' dominance, but they need to do three things if they want to achieve that.

"They must not lose any of their two fixtures against Sundowns, win their outstanding games, and make sure they take matches against smaller teams seriously without dwelling too much on cup competitions.

"Sundowns know how to get good results against smaller teams in the league even when they don't play well."
