    Pirates news & squads

    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. Orlando Pirates currently trail Mamelodi Sundowns by nine points but have two games in hand. Every match from here on is crucial if they hope to catch Masandawana in the title race.

    Possible XI: Chaine, Van Rooyen, Mbokazi, Sibisi, Hotto, Makhaula, Mbatha, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng, Nkota, Mabasa
