Durban City have failed to score in 3 of their last 4 matches.
Durban City have lost 3 of their last 5 matches.
Orlando Pirates have won 14 of their last 16 matches (12 clean sheets).

Head to Head

This is the first meeting between these clubs.

Durban City Form & Team News

Durban City sit seventh in the PSL table. They’ve won just once in their last five matches in all competitions (three losses).

A late set-piece goal conceded led to a 1-0 defeat at AmaZulu. A 3-1 loss followed in extra time away to Richards Bay in the Carling Knockout Cup.

Another late goal leaked saw a 1-0 home loss to Kaizer Chiefs. After beating Marumo Gallants 1-0 at home, they drew 0-0 at Richards Bay in their last match.

Coach Gavin Hunt will hope for Fezile Gcaba’s return at right back. Durban City have a small squad and there won’t be many changes.

Letsie Koapeng and Joslin Kamatuka are competing to lead the line. Taahir Goedeman is doubtful in central midfield.

Durban City Predicted Lineup

Keet; Gcaba, Ncanana, Mhkize, Mashego; Jurgens, Jodwana; Maseko, Mokwana, Domingo; Kamatuka.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News

Pirates are flying right now. Their last 16 matches have seen 14 wins and they can go top of the table with a victory here.

They won 2-1 at home against Magesi in the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-finals. A 1-1 draw at Mamelodi Sundowns was followed by a 3-1 victory away at Golden Arrows.

Bucs beat Richards Bay 1-0 away in the Carling semi-final with just one shot on target allowed. Their last match saw a 2-0 home win over Chippa United with 24 shots and 2.36 xG.

Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has defender Olisa Ndah back from injury. Key defender Mbekezeli Mbokazi looks set for a transfer to Chicago Fire and may miss this match.

Makhehlene Makhaula has returned from injury in midfield. Oswin Appollis will be recalled after his goal in midweek from the bench.

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup

Chaine; Lebitso, Seema, Sibisi, Hotto; Mbatha, Nemtajela; Moremi, Mofokeng, Appollis; Mbuthuma.

Durban City v Orlando Pirates

I see Pirates winning to zero in this one.
