Orlando Pirates have named their starting line-up for this afternoon’s Betway Premiership clash against Magesi FC at the newly dubbed Orlando Amstel Arena.
With both Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs picking up league wins in mid-week, the Buccaneers will be eager to grab maximum points which will see them move into second spot.
Abdeslam Ouaddou’s charges did not manage to claim all three points in their last league outing against Sekhukhune United last Saturday with the tie ending in a 0-0 stalemate.
Dikwena Tša Meetse on the other hand sit rooted at the base of the league standings. They are currently on a five-match losing streak having registered three losses and two draws since they last tasted victory on 18 October 2025.
These two sides have met just once which was a win for the Soweto giants.
Here’s how they line-up:
