The Urban Warriors are much improved of late. Whilst they beat Pirates in November, I can’t see a repeat here. I’m backing Bucs to win at home.

Pirates have won successive matches after a three-match winless streak. They sit two points off second spot in the table.

A poor 3-1 loss at SuperSport United was followed by a 3-2 home defeat to Stellenbosch after throwing away a 2-0 lead. A 1-1 draw at Mamelodi Sundowns followed with ten men before destroying minnows Crystal Lake 6-0 away in the Nedbank Cup.

On Saturday, a second half goal sealed a first league win since mid-December. Evidence Makgopa’s goal brought a 1-0 win at Polokwane City.

Coach Jose Riveiro has Miguel Timm available again in midfield. He is set to start after a two-game ban.

Pirates are without defender Olisa Ndah due to suspension. Fullback Paseka Mako is out injured.

After losing 1-0 at University of Pretoria in the Nedbank Cup, they won another league match. Two first half goals were enough to beat TS Galaxy 2-0 at home on Sunday.
