Bucs announced one signing so far in Angolan winger Gilberto, but there have been few number of familiar faces in the squad who are yet to be unveiled.
Jose Riveiro is expected to give almost every player a chance to show what they can do or add into the Pirates team. The Buccaneers had a similar pre-season in Spain ahead of 2023/24 and went on to win two trophies.
The Championship side is coached by former Manchester United striker Rooney and he will look to start the pre-season at his new club in a good way.
Here is how they line up:
Pirates XI: Chaine, Maela, Ndah, Mthethwa, Lebitso, Makhaula, Rasebotja, Saleng, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng, Makgopa
Subs: Buthelezi, Sibisi, Monyane, Timm, Zulu, Madalane, Sesane, Mbatha, Baloni, Hotto, Otladisa, Moleleki, Kapinga, Ndlondlo, Kimvuidi, Mabasa, Nkota
Plymouth XI: Cooper, Mumba, Pleguezuelo, Edwaeds, Bundu, Gibson, Randell, Waine, Earley, Tijani, Roberts.
