Polokwane City and Orlando Pirates have announced their starting lineups for the Betway Premiership battle at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. 

City ended their eight match winless last weekend beating struggling Richards Bay 3-1. Rise and Shine find themselves in sixth place with 34 points after 23 matches. Head coach Phuti Mohafe is under a massive pressure to least lead the side to a top eight finish this season.

The Buccaneers meanwhile are coming into the games with their confidence very high after beating Algerian giants MC Alger 1-0 in the CAF Champions League in Algeria.

With the big news of Jose Riveiro being announced that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, the question is whether Pirates can still push in the league title race to bid a nice farewell for the Spaniard.

Here’s how they line up: 

Polokwane City XI: Bwire, Makhubela, Ndlovu, Nkaki, Baloyi, Kambala, Ramabu, Maphangule, Dlamini, Letshedi, Appollis
