Cape Town City Form & Team News

At the end of 2023, City sat second in the PSL table. After a nine-match winless PSL run, they’ve dropped to sixth.

After successive defeats, they drew two matches: 0-0 at home to Kaizer Chiefs and 2-2 at Sekhukhune United. A damaging 1-0 home defeat followed with ten men to AmaZulu.

City fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Polokwane City in their penultimate match. On Sunday, they surrendered a 1-0 lead to draw 1-1 at home with Golden Arrows.

Centre back Keanu Cupido is available after a suspension and will start. Former Leicester City midfielder Khanya Leshabela will remain on the bench.

Young striker Jody Ah Shene is pushing for a start. He could partner top scorer Khanyisa Mayo up front.

Cape Town City Predicted Lineup

Keet; Mkhize, Gordinho, Cupido; Rhodes, Mokhuoane, Petrus, Gonzalez; Goedeman, Mayo; Ah Shene.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News

Pirates are scoring freely of late and have lost just once in 12 matches across all competitions. They sit third in the PSL table, three points off a CAF Champions League spot.

After a 1-1 draw at Moroka Swallows, Pirates have won four consecutive matches. They thrashed Golden Arrows 7-1 at home with 12 ‘big chances’ created.

Successive wins followed against AmaZulu: 4-2 away in the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals and 1-0 at home in the PSL. Their last match saw a 4-0 win at Royal AM in the league.

Coach Jose Riveiro has three players back from suspension. Deon Hotto will return at left back, Sipho Chaine will start in goal and Miguel Timm is available in midfield.

Destructive midfielder Makhehleni Makhaula and star playmaker Patrick Maswanganyi are banned here. Key defender Olisa Ndah is injured.

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup

Chaine; Monyane, Xoki, Sesane, Hotto; Timm, Mbatha; Saleng, Dlamini, Mofokeng; Mabasa.
