Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United have named their starting squads ahead of this evening’s Betway Premiership encounter at Orlando Stadium.
Following their shock 3-2 Carling Knockout Cup first round exit at the hands of Magesi FC, Bucs will be looking to bounce back with a win against an equally wounded United side who were hammered 4-0 by Kaizer Chiefs in the same cup competition.
Jose Riveiro’s charges are one of just two teams, alongside table-toppers Mamelodi Sundowns, who have a 100% league record and the second highest goalscoring team with six goals alongside Chiefs.
