Supersport United and Orlando Pirates have announced their starting line-ups for the DStv Premiership encounter at New Peter Mokaba Stadium this evening.
Matsatsantsa will pay their fourth match in a space of 23 days, this includes three in the CAF Confederation Cup. Despite the busy schedule and limited players, Gavin Hunt’s side are occupying second spot in the league table.
At one stage United was in a bad run of five matches without a win but they turned things around when they defeated Moroka Swallows and Libyan side Al Hilal Benghazi.
The Buccaneers have a chance to go second this evening should they beat United.
Pirates have collected 16 points out of possible 18 points in their last six games. The Sea Robbers are one the teams that have solid defence, they’ve kept five cleansheets in the last six games.
If they are to continue with their fine form, they will have to do it with Patrick Maswanganyi who’s serving suspension.
These two side faced each other 51 times, Matsatsantsa won the most (21), while 11 matches ended in draws.
