Mamelodi Sundowns will not win the 2026 MTN8 final against Orlando Pirates at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on 10 October 2026.

“There is no way Sundowns is winning. Buccaneers 2, Sundowns not.”

The verdict· graded 10 Oct

Mamelodi Sundowns beat Orlando Pirates 2-0 in the MTN8 final at a sold-out Moses Mabhida Stadium, with Teboho Mokoena and Iqraam Rayners scoring, ending Pirates' dominance of the competition.

The prediction was that Sundowns would not win the final. Four sources dated the day of the match all report that Sundowns won it, so the outcome is the opposite of what was predicted.
