Pirates won 8-1 when the sides last met in December 2024.

Marumo Gallants Form & Team News


Marumo sit 14th in the PSL table having taken just one point from their last four league matches.

A 2-1 loss at relegation rivals Richards Bay was followed by a 2-0 defeat at AmaZulu. A 1-0 win at home over AmaZulu followed in the Nedbank Cup to reach the last eight. 

Their league struggles continued with a 3-1 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns. Last time out, they eked out a 0-0 draw at home to Polokwane City. 

New coach Abdeslam Quaddou may not have his work permit in time for this one. Sede Dion is set to play up front with Gabadinho Mhango benched. 

Two midfielders return from suspension in Masindi Nemtajela and Christopher Sithole. 

Marumo Gallants Predicted Lineup


Arubi; Khumalo, Nthatheni, Sikhosana, Mabotja; Nemtajela, Manaka; Zindoga, Sithole, Msendami; Dion.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Pirates have won 10 of their last 12 matches in all competitions. They sit second in the PSL table with a 15-point gap to the summit with four matches in hand.

A last-minute 1-0 home win over Kaizer Chiefs made it four straight wins. Bucs went to Sekhukhune United and won 2-1 before a 4-1 thumping at the hands of Mamelodi Sundowns.

They’ve bounced back since then, winning both matches. A 3-1 home victory over Baroka in the Nedbank Cup was followed by a 2-1 victory over Cape Town City last weekend. 

Coach Jose Riveiro is without Thabiso Sesane and Olisa Ndah in defence. Speedy winger Monnapule Saleng has been frozen out and will not be involved.

Goodman Mosele returned from a long-term injury with the winner last weekend. Thalente Mbatha is set to start in midfield ahead of the former. 

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Van Rooysen, Sibisi, Xoki, Hotto; Makhaula, Mbatha; Nkota, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Mabasa.

Verdict

I see Pirates winning with relative ease here.
