Durban City FC and Orlando Pirates have confirmed their respective starting line-ups for today’s Betway Premiership clash at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
City find themselves in a comfortable position as they approach half of the season. Gavin Hunt’s charges are currently in seventh place with 19 points after 13 games. This is a huge achievement for Hunt’s side considering that this is their first season in top flight.

On fire Pirates have a huge chance to go top of the table for the first time this season. The Sea Robbers have won eight of the 11 matches and currently level on points with Sundowns on goal difference. A win for them today will send them three points clear at the top. The Buccaneers have the most solid defense in the league after conceding only five goals.
This is the first time these two teams face each other. But Pirates have a good record at Moses Mabhida Stadium and Durban City has already lost to Kaizer Chiefs and Sundowns this season.
Here is how both teams will square up:
Durban City Starting XI: Keet, Ncanana, Mkhize, Gcaba, Mashego, Jurgens, Jodwana, Maseko, Mokwena, Domingo, Lubumba
Subs: Dreyer, Goedeman, Magawana, Koapeng, Nodada, Sifumba, Nyulu, Kamatuka, De Kock
Pirates Starting XI: Chaine, Sibisi (c), Mbokazi, Ndaba, Lebitso, Mbatha, Nemtajela, Maswanganyi, Moremi, Mofokeng, Makgopa
Subs: Buthelezi, Ndah, Van Rooyen, Hotto, Makhaula, Mbule, Dlamini, Appollis, Mbuthuma
