\nBlack Africa is currently on 58 points, while African Stars sitting at 50 points.
\nDespite their lead, Black Africa is looking to end its five-year drought without winning a league trophy by winning their match tonight.
\nSport experts have noted that mathematically speaking, African Stars will not be able to catch up with Black Africa even if it wins all its remaining games as Black Africa holds a superior goal difference of 40 goals, compared to African Stars, which currently has 17 goals.
\nHead coach for Black Africa, Paulus Shipanga, warned his players not to be complacent and underestimate Orlando Pirates.
\n\u201cIt will be exciting as we know that Pirates will come out guns blazing and attack us. We need to remain composed and know our game plan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
