The Cape side claimed the lead thanks to Fagrie Lakay, but \u2018Downs hit back through Ricardo Nascimento and Sibusiso Vilakazi to claim all three points and establish a healthy buffer at the top of the standings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">The Brazilians have a mixed record at home this season, with three wins and four losses from seven matches as hosts. Their last home game was just before the festive-season break last month and saw them suffer a surprise 1-0 defeat at the hands of Cape Town City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">Pirates opened 2018 on a high as they defeated Baroka 3-1 at home on January 6, with Luvoyo Memela providing two goals and an assist. It was the first time this season that the Soweto side managed to score three or more goals in a game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">The Buccaneers have claimed just seven points from as many away matches this campaign, with their last result on the road a 2-1 loss at Free State Stars just before the festive-season break. Their only away win came at Bloemfontein Celtic in late November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">In head-to-head stats, Sundowns and Pirates have met in 66 league matches since 1985. The Brazilians have claimed 30 wins compared to 19 for the Buccaneers, while 17 games have been drawn. The Tshwane side has won 14 of 33 home matches in the rivalry, suffering nine defeats in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">When the teams met earlier this season, \u2018Downs claimed a 3-1 away win on November 1 thanks to a brace from Hlompho Kekana and a late strike by Anthony Laffor. It was a fifth successive league win for the Brazilians over Pirates, with the aggregate score in the sequence reading 15-2 in their favour.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">Form and Fixtures<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">MAMELODI SUNDOWNS<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">Season league results (most recent first):\u00a0WLLWWWWDWWLLWWLW<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">Next five league fixtures:\u00a0Platinum Stars (H), Kaizer Chiefs (A), Cape Town City (A), Free State Stars (H), SuperSport United (H)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">ORLANDO PIRATES<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">Season league results (most recent first): WLDDWDLDDDLWDWDW<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-16\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">Next five league fixtures:\u00a0Polokwane City (H), Platinum Stars (A), Ajax Cape Town (A), Maritzburg United (H), Chippa United (A)<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gmail-15\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">Head-to-Head<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"gmail-15\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">LAST 10 LEAGUE RESULTS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-15\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">Season Result Scorers<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-15\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">2012\/13 Pirates 0-1 Sundowns Schut<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-15\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">2013\/14 Pirates 0-1 Sundowns Kekana<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-15\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">2013\/14 Sundowns 0-1 Pirates Masuku<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-15\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">2014\/15 Sundowns 0-3 Pirates Erasmus 2, Majoro<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-15\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">2014\/15 Pirates 1-1 Sundowns Bacela; Billiat<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-15\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">2015\/16 Sundowns 2-0 Pirates Castro, Billiat<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-15\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">2015\/16 Pirates 1-2 Sundowns Makola; Castro, Billiat<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-15\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\">2016\/17 Sundowns 6-0 Pirates T.
