Orlando Pirates will make their first road trip outside Soweto this season when they travel to face AmaZulu at King’s Park Stadium in the Betway Premiership.
The Buccaneers enter the fixture holding an impressive 11-game unbeaten record against Arthur Zwane’s side. Victory in Durban could elevate Pirates to the summit of the league standings, depending on goal difference results elsewhere. With captain Nkosinathi Sibisi unavailable, head coach José Riveiro could introduce newly signed Norwegian striker Sebastian Pedersen into the starting lineup following a long-term injury to Evidence Makgopa.
Predicted Lineup: Orlando Pirates (4-4-2 / 4-2-3-1)
- Goalkeeper: Sipho Chaine
- Defenders: Lebone Seema, Mpho Chabatsane, Nkosikhona Ndaba, Camren Dansin
- Midfielders: Thalente Mbatha, Patrick Maswanganyi, Kabelo Kgositsile, Oswin Appollis
- Forwards: Yanela Mbuthuma, Sebastian Pedersen
