Orlando Pirates will have the chance to claim top spot in the Betway
Premiership when they face a high-flying AmaZulu at the Moses Mabhida
Stadium on Tuesday evening.
The Buccaneers returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Magesi FC
on Saturday, moving them into second place, level on points with defending
champions Mamelodi Sundowns. This match is also Pirates’ game in hand over
both Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs, who have been engaged in continental
competitions.
Standing in their way is an AmaZulu side under Arthur Zwane, currently
fourth in the table and enjoying a three-match winning streak in the
league, including a hard-fought 1-0 away win against Marumo Gallants this
past weekend.
Confirmed Lineups:
AmaZulu:
Johnson, Allan, Fielies, Mthethwa, Radebe, Zungu, Bern, Hanamub, Ekstein,
Mbanjwa, Ngwenya
Subs: Mzimela, Dube, Slatsha, Mhlongo, Sithole, Zikhali, Maqokolo,
Mashigo, Kutumela
Orlando Pirates:
Chaine, Sibisi, Seema, Hotto, Van Rooyen, Makhaula, Mbatha, Mofokeng,
Moremi, Appollis, Mbuthuma
Subs: Buthelezi, Chabatsane, Ndaba, Sebelebele, Nemtajela, Maswanganyi,
Msendami, De Jong, Makgopa
The stage is set for a compelling clash between a Pirates side eyeing the
summit and a confident AmaZulu team looking to solidify their top-four
credentials.
