Richards Bay Form & Team News
Richards Bay have taken just two points from their last four league matches (LLDD). They’ve made their third-straight Carling Knockout semi-final.
They beat Chippa United 4-1 in the Carling Knockout Cup before losing 2-1 at home to struggling Orbit College. A 3-1 win followed vs Durban City in the Carling Knockout with 25 shots attempted.
Their last two matches have seen credible away league draws. A 1-1 at Polokwane City needed an 86th-minute penalty, before drawing 1-1 at Sekhukhune United as they were outshot 14-6.
Richards Bay will hope to have at least one of Moses Mthembu or Tlukasani Mthethwa fit to start in midfield. The duo have missed two matches due to injury.
Defender Tshepo Mabua will start after recovering from injury. Veteran forwards Gabadinho Mhango and Knox Mutizwa will play up front.
Richards Bay Predicted Lineup
Otieno; Mabuya, Mcineka, Mabua, Khumalo; Mthembu, Zuke; Mutizwa, Zikali, Thikazi; Mhango.
Orlando Pirates Form & Team News
Pirates have won 12 of their last 14 fixtures. Their CAF Champions League pursuit was ended prematurely, but they’re chasing a second domestic trophy of the season in this competition.
A 3-0 win in their CAF second leg win vs Saint Eloi Lupopo was not enough as they drew 3-3 on aggregate and lost on penalties. A 2-1 home win over Magesi followed in the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-finals.
After drawing 1-1 away at title rivals Mamelodi Sundowns, they got back to winning ways. They won 3-1 at Golden Arrows in midweek from just four shots on target.
Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has key winger Relebohile Mofokeng back from injury. Mbekezeli Mbokazi will return to the XI in defence but Olisa Ndah is still out injured.
Thalente Mbatha is pushing for a recall. Yanele Mbuthuma netted a brace from the bench vs Arrows and is set to start this one against his former club.
Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup
Chaine; Lebitso, Seema, Mbokazi, Hotto; Nduli, Nemtajela; Moremi, Mofokeng, Appollis; Mbuthuma.
Verdict
I see both teams scoring, with Pirates to progress in 90 minutes.
