The league game between Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United has been rescheduled as the Buc’s are set to do battle in the Caf Champions League on the same weekend.

The match was originally scheduled for Sunday 3 February as the Soweto giants were set to travel to the Lucas Moripe Stadium for the return leg of the Absa Premiership clash between the old foes.

Pirates, however, are listed to play defending Champions League winners Esperance in a massive clash at the Orlando Stadium on the 2nd of February.

That would have given the Buccaneers just under a day to get ready for the clash and the league has thus decided to reschedule the Absa Premiership fixture.

The game will now take place on February 26 in Tshwane allowing Milutin Sredojevic and his team to focus on their clash with the Tunisian giants.

SuperSport United spokesman David ‘Mazolman’ Skhosane confirmed the change.

‘Yes, it’s true our league fixture against Pirates, which was set for February 3, has been postponed,’ Skhosane said.

‘The game will now take place on February 26 at Lucas Moripe Stadium.’

Mamelodi Sundowns are also expected to announce a fixture change as they are look to move the tie against AmaZulu to allow for their focus on the visit of Ivorian giants Asec Mimosas in the Champions League on February 2.
