Head to Head


Orlando Pirates hold a 5-3 lead over TS Galaxy with one draw in nine meetings.

Pirates won 2-0 when the clubs met in the reverse fixture in October. 

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Pirates have seen their coach Jose Riveiro depart early as his contract was expiring. Three defeats in the last six matches saw them lose out on a potential quadruple.

A 3-2 second leg loss at Pyramids FC saw Pirates exit the CAF Champions League sem-finals. A 1-0 home league loss to Sekhukhune United preceded a 2-1 win vs Kaizer Chiefs. 

After beating Golden Arrows 2-1, they lost 2-1 to Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup semis. In midweek, they made light work of Golden Arrows in a 3-0 home win.

Caretaker coach Mandla Ncikazi is without injured defenders Olisa Ndah and Thabiso Sesane. Miguel Timm will play no part and neither will winger Monnapule Saleng. 

Tshegofatso Mabasa is hoping for a start up front. Young central midfielder Simphiwe Selepe is pushing for another opportunity. 

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Van Rooyen, Sibisi, Mbokazi, Hotto; Selepe, Mbatha; Nkota, Dlamini, Mofokeng; Mabasa.

TS Galaxy Form & Team News


The Rockets have seen six losses in the last 12 matches. They sit fifth in the table going into their final fixture. 

A shock 2-1 home loss to Marumo Gallants was followed by a 1-1 draw at Kaizer Chiefs. A 2-1 loss at Magesi with 2.04 xG preceded a 1-1 home stalemate against Sekhukhune United.

Their last match brought another poor home defeat. They lost 1-0 to ten-man Richards Bay despite having 69% of the ball. 

Centre back MacBeth Mahlangu is available again after a long-term injury. Left back Kganyane Letsoenyo should shake off a knock to start.

Centre forward Denan Zajmovic is pushing for a recall, as is midfielder Mpho Mvelase.

TS Galaxy Predicted Lineup


Tape; Munyai, Ndamane, M. Mahlangu, Letsoenyo; Sebelebele, Mvelase, Maduna, Dithejane; Dolly; Zajmovic.
