Orlando Pirates Form & Team News

Pirates have won eight of their last nine matches. They bounced back from a cup exit on Saturday by making it four straight PSL wins.

Their Betway Premiership season began with a 2-1 home win over Chippa United and a 3-0 home victory win versus Polokwane City. A 1-0 win at Richards Bay preceded a 3-1 win in the MTN8 Cup final vs Stellenbosch.

After a shock 3-2 loss at home to Magesi in the Carling Knockout Cup, they won on Tuesday. One early goal and one very late strike sealed a 2-0 home victory over SuperSport United.

Coach Jose Riveiro is without key defenders Olisa Ndah and Tapelo Xoki. Evidence Makgopa could keep his place up front ahead of Tshegofatso Mabasa.

Thalente Mbatha is back from injury in midfield. Miguel Timm is an injury doubt in the engine room.

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup

Chaine; Van Rooyen, Sesane, Sibisi, Hotto; Mbatha, Dlamini; Saleng, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Makgopa.

AmaZulu Form & Team News

After winning just two of their last 17 league matches, AmaZulu sacked coach Pablo Franco Martin. They have lost their last five fixtures.

This season started with a 2-1 loss at Polokwane City before a 3-1 home loss to Kaizer Chiefs. Before the international break, AmaZulu lost 1-0 away at Marumo Gallants.

On Friday, AmaZulu were beaten 2-1 at home in extra time by Stellenbosch FC. The defeat saw them exit the Carling Knockout Cup.

Ben Motshwari is doubtful in midfield due to injury. Etiosa Ighodaro is set for a recall up front.

Coach Arthur Zwane is set to pick Richard Ofori in goal. Veli Mothwa could be benched once again.

AmaZulu Predicted Lineup

Ofori; Sikhakhane, Gumede, Fielies, Hanamub; Brooks, Mobara, Ngema; Moremi, Ighodaro, Mbanjwa.

Verdict

Orlando Pirates v AmaZulu

Pirates should have far too much for AmaZulu in this match. I see them beating the -1 handicap and scoring 2+ goals.
