Image: Gavin Barker/BackPagePix/Gallo Images Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer is bracing himself for a “special DStv Premiership tie” in the first round of 2020-21 season as his side line up against top-of-the-table defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Stadium on Saturday. The Premiership returns from its Christmas break with a cracking match-up between two of the favourites for the title‚ and a fixture that has been known to produce fireworks. Sundowns have won the championship in the past three seasons and some of those six league clashes in those campaigns between these two giants of SA football were exhilarating and close. Bucs have won two‚ Sundowns just one‚ while the other three‚ including the last one in the bio-bubble towards the end of last season‚ ended in goalless draws.
