They last met in August 2024 as Orlando Pirates won 2-0 at home in the MTN8 Cup.
Cape Town City Form & Team News
City have won four of 11 PSL matches this season. After sacking coach Eric Tinkler, they won their first match under interim coach Muhsin Ertugral.
They lost successive league matches, 3-2 at Golden Arrows and 1-0 away at Sekhukhune United. A 1-0 win away at Chippa United preceded a shock 1-0 home defeat to AmaZulu.
That loss saw the club change coaches. City enjoyed a ‘new manager bounce’ as they took three points in a 1-0 victory over Kaizer Chiefs last Sunday.
Interim coach Muhsin Ertugral had key defender Nathan Fasika available for the last match. The Congolese centre back has returned from a loan spell at Valerenga.
Thabo Nodada made his first start after a long-term injury on Sunday and could keep his place in midfield. Haashim Domingo may be left on the bench once again.
Cape Town City Predicted Lineup
Keet; Mkhize, Gordinho, Fasika, Nyama; Nodada, Petrus; Rhodes, Tjiueza, Gonzalez; Soukhouna.
Orlando Pirates Form & Team News
Pirates have won nine of their ten Betway Premiership fixtures this term. They have won 15 of their last 19 matches in all competitions.
A surprise 1-0 home PSL defeat to Stellenbosch was followed by two draws in the CAF Champions League, 0-0 vs Al Ahly at home and 1-1 at Stade d’Abidjan. A 8-1 league mauling of Marumo Gallants followed with seven goals scored in the second half.
After grinding out a 1-0 win at Magesi FC, they beat Stade d’Abidjan 3-0 at home on Saturday in the CAF Champions League.
Centre midfielder Thalente Mbatha is set to return to the starting lineup. Midfielder Miguel Timm and defender Olisa Ndah are injured and Makhehlene Makhaula is suspended in the engine room.
Coach Jose Riveiro has a tough decision up front. Tshegofatso Mabasa and fit-again Evidence Makgopa are competing for the number nine role.
Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup
Chaine; Van Rooyen, Sibisi, Sesane, Hotto; Dlamini, Mbatha; Nkota, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Mabasa.
Verdict
I'm backing Pirates to win on their travels on Wednesday.
