  • Sipho Chaine, Orlando Pirates, August 2025Backpage

    GOALKEEPER: Sipho Chaine

    The Bafana Bafana international is on top of form for the club, and is Pirates' first choice.

  • Katlego Letllapa of Sekhukhune United and Tshepo Mashiloane of Orlando PiratesBackpagepix

    RIGHT-BACK: Bandile Shandu

    Shandu was introduced in place of Patrick Maswanganyi, who was struggling and and he didn't disappoint in his primary position.

    He might have earned himself a starting berth on Tuesday.  

  • Deon Hotto, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    LEFT-BACK: Deon Hotto

    The Namibia international has been one of the most consistent players for the club despite his advancing age.

  • Lebone Seema, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    CENTRE-BACK: Lebone Seema

    In the absence of Captain Nkosinathi SIbisi, Seema has been putting up a decent shift alongside Mbokazi.

    He should start ahead of Olisa Ndah who lacks match fitness.

  • Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    CENTRE-BACK: Mbekezeli Mbokazi

    Currently, no sane coach can even consider benching the in-form teenager.   

  • Sihle Nduli, Orlando Pirates, August 2025Backpage

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Sihle Nduli

    In the absence of veteran midfielder Makhehlene Makhaula, Nduli has established himself in that position.  

  • Thalente Mbatha, Orlando Pirates, August 2025Backpagepix

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Thalente Mbatha

    Initially, Mbatha was overlooked by coach Ouaddou, but he has seemingly earned the technical team's trust.   

  • Relebohile Mofokeng, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    ATTACKING ATTACKER: Relebohile Mofokeng

    The youngster is a sharp attacking unit whose intelligence, eye for assists, or goals might benefit the Soweto giants. 

  • Kamogelo Sebelebele of Orlando PiratesBackpagepix

    RIGHT ATTACKER: Kamogelo Sebelebele

    Three goals in three matches for Bucs across all competitions! Another chance to make it four strikes from as many outings. 

  • Oswin Appollis, Orlando Pirates, August 2025Backpage

    LEFT ATTACKER: Oswin Appollis

    The speedy attacker has been a consistent figure in Ouaddou's line-ups, although he is yet to get to the top form he showed last season.  

  • Evidence Makgopa, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    CENTRE-FORWARD - Evidence Makgopa

    Initially, the coach preferred Boitumelo Radiopane as his main striker, but he has been reinstated to the starting team.

    His physical presence and link-up plays make him dangerous and vital.
