Pirates & Galaxy XIs Confirmed

Orlando Pirates and TS Galaxy have confirmed their starting line-ups for the DStv Premiership encounter at Orlando Stadium this evening.

The Buccaneers aim to register their fourth win in the last five league matches. The Sea Robbers are 11 points behind table toppers Mamelodi Sundowns, but a win tonight would cut the gap despite Downs having played fewer games.

Jose Riveiro’s side has already won three trophies since arriving at Pirates, but he has yet to compete for the league title. The Bucs are in good form coming to this match after winning back-to-back Soweto derbies against Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows.

Meanwhile, TS Galaxy reached their second cup final in clubs’ history last weekend when they defeated AmaZulu 3-2.

They might be doing well in the cup competition, but things aren’t the same in the league as they are sitting 11th in the standings, five points ahead of the promotional playoffs spots. They’ve won two of their last six league matches.

Pirates won the last PSL meeting between the clubs, emerging 2-1 winners at the Mbombela Stadium last season. These two sides have faced each other six times. Galaxy won three, lost twice and one match ended with a draw.

Pirates XI: Buthelezi, Xoki, Ndah, Hotto, Timm, Ndlondlo, Maswanganyi, Pule, Makaringe, Mofokeng, Makgopa

Subs: Ofori, Sibisi, Makhaula, Baloni, Saleng, Kimvuidi, Dlamini, Otladisa, Lepasa

TS Galaxy XI: Kolak, M. Mahlangu, Sanoka, Letsoenyo, Mvelase, Chiba, Vidal, Mbatha, Mojela, Sp. Mahlangu

Subs: Ntwari, Seema, Nurkovic, Mongae, Mbunjana, Radebe, Rakwena, Mere, Semache
