Orlando Pirates and Lamontville Golden Arrows have announced their starting line-ups for this afternoon’s DStv Premiership encounter at Orlando Stadium.
Struggling Buccaneers welcome on-and-off Abafana Bes’thende in what seems to be must-win match for Jose Riveiro’s side as they need to get back to winning ways.
Ezimnyama Ngenkani are on three successive losses and picked up just one win in their last seven DStv Premiership matches.
Meanwhile, Arrows find themselves in the top eight and actually above Bucs after ending SuperSport United six match unbeaten run a week ago.
Vusumuzi Vilakazi and Mabhuti Khenyeza know this is not an easy fixture for them especially playing Esgodini. The last time they won a game against Pirates away from home was back in October 2015.
Five of the last seven head-to-head clashes have ended in all goalless draws, but the Sea Robbers won the reverse fixture 2-0.
Here’s how they line-up:
Pirates XI: Chaine, Shandu, Xoki, Sibisi, Maela, Timm, Monare, Dlamini, Saleng, Hotto, Erasmus.
Subs: Mpontshane, Martin, Mako, Motshwari, Ndlondlo, Pule, Dzvukamanja, Makgopa, Mabena
Arrows XI: Mlungwana, Hlatshwayo, Lunga, Nxadi, Ndlovu, Sibiya, Dube, Dlamini, Mmodi, Makhubela, Mutizwa.
Subs: Mbatha, Shitolo, Mantshiyane, Magubane, Gumbi, Nkosi, Moon, Ndwandwe.
