Orlando Pirates return to Betway Premiership action on Tuesday evening,
hosting bottom-placed Chippa United at the Orlando Stadium in a match that
offers the Buccaneers a chance to draw level with log leaders Mamelodi
Sundowns.
Match Details:
Teams: Orlando Pirates vs Chippa United
- Date: 25 November 2025
- Venue: Orlando Stadium
- Form Guide and Stakes
Pirates enter the fixture buoyed by a 1-0 Carling Knockout semi-final
victory over Richards Bay before the international break. Currently sitting
second on the league table, a win would see the Soweto giants pull level on
points with rivals Mamelodi Sundowns, applying significant pressure at the
summit.
They face a Chippa United side in dire form. The Chilli Boys have failed to
win any of their last six matches, managing only a single victory in their
12 league games this season. With seven losses already and a position at the
foot of the table, they present a stark contrast to their high-flying hosts.

Orlando Pirates: Chaine, Seema, Sibisi, Hotto, Lebitso, Mbatha, Nemtajela,
Mbule, Moremi, Mofokeng, Mbuthuma.

Subs: Sithole, Mfecane, Hlophe, Ntsundwana, Madingwana, Ndlovu, Bonani,

All eyes will be on whether Pirates can capitalize on their home advantage
and their opponents’ poor run to secure a crucial three points in the title
race.
