Orlando Pirates return to Betway Premiership action on Tuesday evening as they travel to Mbombela Stadium to face newly-promoted Kruger United.
The Soweto giants enter this fixture riding high on momentum. Over the weekend, the Buccaneers secured a 3-0 victory against Sekhukhune United FC to reach the MTN8 final for the fifth consecutive year.
That cup triumph followed another decisive performance seven days earlier, where Pirates recorded a 2-0 league victory against the same opposition at Orlando Amstel Arena.
Kruger United face a contrasting reality as they continue adapting to the top tier. The newly-promoted side remains winless after four matches, recording three defeats and one draw. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 loss against Durban City Football Club.
Here are the confirmed starting lineups for both sides, as reported by soccerladuma.co.za:
Kruger United Starting XI: Ntwari, Mukumela, Sibiya, Mohamme, Seedat, Nel, Tavengwa, Makhubela, Mphothe, Malatjie, Zwane.
Subs: Dandjinou, Ndlela, Sibanyoni, Thwala, Matima, Makhubu, Mngonyama, Mahlangu.
Orlando Pirates Starting XI: Sipho Chaine, Sebelebele, Seema, Zulu, Ndaba, Mthiyane, Mokobodi, Dansin, Moremi, Lungu, Radiopane.
Subs: Dladla, Xoki, Rapoo, Hotto, Selepe, Masilela, Padime, Oswin Appollis, Mbuthuma.
