Favourite team to win Betway Premiership

Sports journalist Uche Anuma, in an exclusive chat with Briefly News, discussed the favourite team to win the Betway Premiership between Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.

“It’s clear that this season’s Betway Premiership title battle will be a two-horse race between Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates due to how they’ve both started this campaign on a good note,” he said.

“With the good start from both clubs, I don’t think there is a clear favourite amongst them, but if we have to pick one team by force, then I feel Sundowns have the edge as they are the defending champions and are familiar with holding their ground in top place.

“The Brazilians quickly knew they couldn’t move forward with Manqoba Mngqithi and decided early to let him go for Miguel Cardoso.

“It’s not yet clear if the Portuguese manager is the perfect replacement for Manqoba, but he’s managed to get good results since taking over.”
