Orlando Pirates take on Maritzburg United in the DStv Premiership this evening at Orlando Stadium and this is how the teams line up for the fixture.
This is the first of three fixtures for Pirates, who had their fixtures rescheduled due to their involvement in the CAF Confederation Cup. Pirates lost in a penalty shootout in Friday’s final to eventual winners RS Berkane.
But Pirates will have to put the disappointment of losing that final behind them if they want to end the season on a high.
The Bucs currently sitting in seventh place on 40 points, and were they to win all their fixtures, they could still finish second or third place.
Maritzburg will be playing their final game, and they too could improve on their current position. A win for the visitors could see them move up as high as tenth, were they to win by a two-goal margin or more.
Here is how the team’s line-up:
Orlando Pirates XI: Ofori, Jele, Ndah, Shandu, Maela, Mosele, Motshwari, Hotto, Dlamini, Lorch, Peprah
Subs: Mpontshane, Mabaso, Dzvukamanja, Mntambo, Sam, Jooste, Makaringe, Mabasa, Nyauza
Maritzburg United XI: Engelhardt, Claasen, Daniels, Ismail, Pereira, Palace, Lukhubeni, Ritchie, Baloyi, Samu, Macheke
Subs: Petersen, Human, Skelem, Allie, Theron, Rae, Ndengane, Kewuti
