Orlando Pirates play their final game tonight against Magesi at Orlando Stadium. The match starts at 7:30 pm and marks their 52nd game this season. The team competed across five different tournaments during the campaign. Coach Mandla Ncikazi says his players appear tired due to their heavy schedule. Pirates won only the MTN8 trophy from all their competitions.

Ncikazi noticed that his creative players have been struggling to make good decisions lately. The coach attributes the team's declining performance levels to fatigue. Pirates played 27 league matches and reached several cup finals this year. They lost to Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup final after a long run. The CAF Champions League campaign ended against Pyramids of Egypt in the semifinals.

Magesi goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze wants to prove himself worthy of international selection. Zimbabwe picked him for upcoming friendlies against Niger and Burkina Faso next month. The keeper earned his recall after nearly five years away from national duty. Chipezeze recorded 10 clean sheets this season and trails the league leaders by one. Both teams have nothing to play for as the Pirates finish second and Magesi avoid relegation.
