Chippa United and Orlando Pirates have announced their starting lineups for tonight’s Betway Premiership encounter at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
The Chilli Boys return home after playing to a goalless draw against Richards Bay away from home which saw them fall out outside the top eight with 22 points after 18 matches.
Following a shocking defeat over the weekend against Marumo Gallants, Pirates aim to bounce back and see if they can revive their title hopes as they are currently 18 points behind Mamelodi Sundowns with four games in hand.
Pirates have won three of their last five league matches and lost two but come into this tie with the upper hand having won three out of their last three meetings.
