Marumo Gallants and Orlando Pirates have confirmed their respective starting line-ups for this afternoon’s Betway Premiership battle at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein.
The hosts have had a technical team makeshift after Dan Malesela and Molefi Ntseki were shown the exit door with Moroccan tactician Abdeslam Ouaddou possibly taking charge of his first match, pending his paperwork, which could also see Duncan Lechesa and Sundra Govinder continue as interim coaches.

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa recorded a 0-0 draw with Polokwane City in their last match and will be looking for a rare upset after they were hammered 8-1 in the corresponding fixture by Pirates.
The Buccaneers on the other hand will be without head coach Jose Riveiro who is serving a suspension and will be out to complete a double and narrow the 15-point gap between them and Mamelodi Sundowns at the top.
They rallied from a goal down to beat Cape Town City 2-1 and keep themselves closely behind the league leaders.
