Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Bucs have just one win in four matches under new coach Abdeslam Ouaddou. They’ve lost both league fixtures they’ve played after finishing second last term. 

This season began with a 2-0 win vs Polokwane City in the MTN8 quarter-finals. A 1-0 home defeat to Sekhukhune United saw 67% possession but not much penetration. 

A late 2-1 loss at Marumo Gallants came despite outshooting Marumo 18-5. On Saturday, they drew 1-1 with Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 semi-final first leg as they had 14 shots. 

Pirates are without defenders Olisa Ndah and Nkosinathi Sibisi. Lebone Seema is set to partner teenage captain Mbekezile Mkokazi in defence. 

Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou may decide between Evidence Makgopa and Buitomelo Radiopane up front. Makhehlene Makhaula is injured in central midfield. 

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Van Rooyen, Seema, Mbokazi, Hotto; Nduli, Mbule; Appollis, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Makgopa.

Stellenbosch Form & Team News


Stellies have just one point in the league from two fixtures. They have one foot in the MTN8 final as they chase a second trophy in their history. 

Their season started with a 3-2 victory vs AmaZulu in the MTN8 quarter-finals. A 2-0 loss to Kaizer Chiefs came with a man less for 77 minutes as they had 12 first half shots. 

A 1-1 draw at Magesi saw Stellies outshot 18-4. On Saturday, a strong display saw a 2-0 first leg win over Sekhukhune United in the MTN8 semi-final first leg.

Stellies have centre back Siviwe Nkwali available after suspension. Winger Sanele Barns is doubtful with a tight hamstring.

Ashley Cupido went off injured in the last match. Lehlohonolo Mojela could make a first start after a long-term knee injury.

Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup


Stephens; Enyinnaya, Maloisane, Mcaba, Mdaka; Palace, Butsaka; Titus, De Jong, Phili; Mojela.

Verdict

I'm tipping Stellies for a narrow win on their travels against a struggling Pirates side.
