Magesi Form & Team News

Magesi sit bottom of the PSL table with five losses in nine matches. Despite lifting the Carling Knockout Cup in November, coach Clinton Larsen handed in his resignation this week.

A shock 2-1 win over Mamelodi Sundowns in that final made it eight matches unbeaten. A 2-0 loss at Chippa United and a 3-1 loss away at Marumo Gallants followed.

Magesi leaked a goal in the 80th minute to lose 1-0 at SuperSport United in their last competitive fixture.

Newly appointed coach Owen Da Gama could be without Delano Abrahams available at right back.

Left back John Mokone may again find himself benched with Kayden Rademeyer starting in his place.

Magesi Predicted Lineup

Chipezeze; Komape, Mvaza, L. Mokone, Rademeyer; Darpoh, Mekoa; Mashigo, Kakora, Chirambadare; Makhubu.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News

Pirates have won eight of their nine PSL matches this season. They have lifted the MTN8 Cup to make it five domestic cups in the last 2.5 seasons.

A 1-0 home win vs Richards Bay made it seven straight PSL wins. A 2-1 win at Belouizdad in the CAF Champions League preceded a 1-0 home loss to Stellenbosch in the league.

Two draws followed in the CAF Champions League: 0-0 at home vs Al Ahly and 1-1 at Stade d’Abidjan. On Tuesday, they scored seven goals in the second half to thrash Marumo Gallants 8-1.

Key playmaker Patrick Maswanganyi is available after suspension. Centre back Tapelo Xoki is back from injury but fellow defender Olisa Ndah is still ruled out.

Hattrick hero Tshegofatso Mabasa is suspended for this match. Evidence Makgopa should return to lead the line with Boitumelo Radiopane on standby if Makgopa isn’t fit to start.

Chaine; Van Rooyen, Sibisi, Sesane, Hotto; Makhaula, Mbatha; Nkota, Dlamini, Mofokeng; Makgopa.
