After their loss in Cairo, the Buccaneers will be eager to bounce back and show their pedigree. The big question is whether Jose Riveiro will risk starting Relebohile Mofokeng, who is one yellow card away from missing the Soweto Derby.

They face a wounded Orlando Pirates side desperate to bounce back from their recent Caf Champions League exit. Key to Sekhukhune’s hopes will be Keletso Makgalwa, who has been instrumental with his creativity. Makgalwa leads the league in assists with 10 and will be expected to guide his team in this crucial clash.

Possible XI: Leaner, Yamba, Cardoso, Letlapa, Mkhize, Monare, Mogaila, Rammala, Mbule, Makgalwa, Ohizu

Clashes between these two sides have always produced goals, and this match promises more of the same. Both teams come into the encounter in strong league form. Fans can expect an intense and attacking game with plenty at stake.
