Orlando Pirates vs Siwelele FC Preview: Kick-off time, TV channel & squad news

The Buccaneers coach Abdeslam Ouaddou could be having a selection headache after the likes of Masindi Nemtajela and Tshepang Moremi had a good outing after starting in midweek against TS Galaxy.

Pirates' possible XI: Chaine, Lebitso, Hotto, Mbokazi, Seema, Nduli, Mbule, Mofokeng, Moremi, Sebelebele, Mabasa

Forward Samir Nurkovic is back after missing two matches due to suspension and his presence could be a worry for Pirates defenders.

Right-back Nyiko Mobbie remains out injured and that has also saw him out of Bafana Bafana's upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Zimbabwe and Rwanda.

Coach Lehlohonolo Seema will be without Neo Rapoo, Lazola Maku, Thabang Mahlangu and Siviwe Magidigidi who are away in Chile with Amajita at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup.

Siwelele possible XI: Goss, Sanoka, Lakay, Luthuli, Makhele, Zwane, Margeman, Lungu, Saile, Ohizu, Nurkovic

Pirates are flying going into Saturday's match, having won seven matches on the trot and without conceding any goals.

That gives a challenge to Siwelele forwards to be at their best to breach the steely Pirates defence.

Siwelele are coming from a 1-0 win over Marumo Gallants in a Mangaung Derby which eased their difficult run of form.

Recently, Pirates and Siwelele met and the Soweto giants won 1-0 in a PSL match at Free State Stadium.
