Newcomers Magesi FC and Orlando Pirates have named their respective starting line-ups for this afternoon’s Betway Premiership encounter at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Dikwena Tsa Meetsi will be out to humble a buoyant Orlando Pirates outfit and ease their relegation fears having already claimed a huge scalp over the Soweto giants at Orlando Stadium this season on route to clinching the Carling Knockout Cup.

With Clinton Larsen having vacated his head coaching role, Papi Zothwane, with the assistance of Jackie Ledwaba, have been roped in to steer the ship after they extended their winless run to four matches across all competitions after losing 3-0 to the All Stars team in the unofficial Carling Label Cup on 21 December.
Bottom-placed dwellers Magesi will climb out of the relegation zone if they upset Pirates again and the other results go their way this weekend.
The Buccaneers on the other hand will be beaming with confidence after stretching their unbeaten run to three matches across all competitions when they hammered Marumo Gallants 8-1 on Christmas Eve.
