Chippa United and Orlando Pirates have named their respective starting line-ups ahead of this afternoon’s Betway Premiership encounter at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha.
The Chilli Boys have had a torrid start to the new campaign as they find themselves rooted at the foot of the log standings with just a single point in four outings while the Buccaneers on the other hand look to continue in their winning ways after their win over Orbit College last time out.
Pirates are currently sitting in ninth place with six points after four games having conceded three goals and scoring three.
This fixture has gone in Pirates’ way where they boast a positive win record of eight wins in nine in their last league visits to the Eastern Cape with just one game drawn.
Last season, Bucs won both legs which was a 2-1 victory through goals from Tshegofatso Mabasa and Monnapule Saleng eSgodini and 1-0 away from Nkosinathi Sibisi’s first-half strike.
Here is how both teams line up:
Chippa Starting XI: Nwabali, Kammies, Fasika, Malaoa, Modise, Seabi, Mfecane, Philander, Sithole, Mini, Figuareido
Subs: Sithole, Ntsundwana, Peters, Magwaza, Tshobeni, Majadibodu, Matrose, Madingwana, Gamaldien
Pirates Starting XI: Chaine, Seema, Mbokazi (c), Lebitso, Hotto, Nduli, Mbatha, Maswanganyi, Sebelebele, Appollis, Makgopa
Subs: Buthelezi, Mofokeng, Xoki, Shandu, Mbule, Mabasa, Nemtajela, Moremi, Ndaba
