Pirates have jumped to sixth in the PSL table after 10 points in the last four league matches. They have kept nine clean sheets in their last 11 matches across three competitions.

A 2-1 loss at whipping boys Cape Town Spurs preceded a Carling Knockout Cup loss on penalties to Richards Bay after drawing 0-0 away. Successive 1-0 league wins saw Sekhukhune United (home) and Kaizer Chiefs (away) beaten.

A frustrating 0-0 draw in the PSL at Richards Bay. In midweek, Pirates beat Moroka Swallows 2-0 at home.

Left backs Innocent Maela and Paseko Mako are injured. Deon Hotto will deputise and Fortune Makaringe could play at right back.

Thabang Monare is still suspended in midfield. Vincent Pule could start on the wing yet again.

On Sunday, The Rockets won 3-2 at AmaZulu. The victory in the Cup saw them reach the final, to be played next weekend.
