Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro has predicted that the Betway Premiership title race will be wide open this season, insisting it wasn’t only Bucs’ responsibility to stop Mamelodi Sundowns’ spun-out supremacy.

“It is our third season together [with Pirates]. We know how difficult it is to finish at the top in a league dominated by one team for the last seven years,” Riveiro said this week at the launch of Betway Premiership in Sandton.

“So, it’s everyone’s responsibility in the competition, in my opinion, to make the league more competitive, to have more teams fighting for the title. That’s what I think will happen.

We have much better sides this season, better squads. The competition looks more balanced.”
