The Sea Robbers are a point behind Mamelodi Sundowns on the standings, and they are left with six matches to play this season, with one of them being the Soweto derby against Kaizer Chiefs.
The Buccaneers recently thrashed TS Galaxy 6-0 in the league, and have recorded good results against top sides in the league this season, but losing against Mamelodi Sundowns in their second meeting in the league this campaign and also dropping crucial points against lesser opposition have put them in a dangerous position in the title race.

"Kaizer Chiefs are one of the teams that can help Orlando Pirates win the league this season, and that is if the Glamour Boys can get a good result against Mamelodi Sundowns in their next match," he said.
"Kaizer Chiefs have struggled since the start of the second half of the season, but they carved out good results in recent games, and Pirates would be praying they continue in that trend and do them a favour when they face Sundowns next month.
"The good thing about this is that the Soweto derby comes before Sundowns vs Chiefs match, so Pirates would also be hoping to defeat Amakhosi in the second derby.
"Kaizer Chiefs are so much important in the title race at this point as they are the only top side facing both Sundowns and Pirates in the remaining games for the season."
What must Pirates do to win league?
Anuma went further to highlight what Pirates must do to end Sundowns ' dominance and become Betway Premiership champions this season.

"I think Pirates still have a chance to win the league, while I agree with some people who feel the season is over for them, but I still believe they have a little chance," he added.
"They've put themselves in this difficult situation, which means they must win all six league games left if they want to win the league; no more slip-ups.
"Sundowns have been on a winning streak, and I don't see them stopping with the way they've been playing lately, as you will see they are not ready to let the top play slip from their fingers."
