Pirates ended Sundowns' eight-year league dominance to win the 2025/26 title on the final day — their first since 2011/12. They've carried strong defensive form into the new season, built on a settled back line.
Their defensive solidity has been the platform for the title win — clean sheet and under-goals markets have tended to offer value in their tighter fixtures.
Given their title-winning form, Pirates are now priced as genuine title contenders rather than outsiders. Their matches against direct rivals (Sundowns, Chiefs) are usually tightly priced and worth shopping around for the best odds.
