Orlando Pirates and TS Galaxy have confirmed their starting troops for the Betway Premiership clash at the Orlando Amstel Arena this evening.
Pirates will have to quickly forget about losing the MTN8 final to Mamelodi Sundowns four days ago. The Betway Premiership champions are expected to put in a good shift tonight as they cannot afford to drop points at this stage with Sundowns above them already.
