Predicting Orlando Pirates' XI to face Magesi FC in Carling Knockout Round of 16 - Jose Riveiro to bench Relebohile Mofokeng & Tshegofatso Mabasa again?

After conceding a goal in the MTN8 final against Stellenbosch, Chaine would not want to be breached in two successive games.

The speedy full-back should replace Thabiso Monyane in the starting line-up after missing the MTN8 final as he was cup-tied.

The Buccaneers skipper started his second match of the season against Stellenbosch and he should start again.

Olisa Ndah and Tapelo Xoki's injuries have handed Sibisi an opportunity for some game time.

Sesane was an unused substitute during Bafana Bafana's back-to-back matches against Congo-Brazzaville, but will not let failure to make his national team debut affect him.

Makhaula has featured in Pirates' 10 games across all competitions this season, starting eight of them.

Timm is yet to start a match this season and has made just two appearances as a substitute, but the absence of the injured Thalente Mbatha offers him a chance to be in the lineup for the first time this term.

Maswanganyi was criticised for his below-par performance for Bafana Bafana against Congo-Brazzaville and would want to hit back at his critics with a polished display.

The in-form winger could be trouble for Magesi defenders, having so far scored five goals in 10 starts across all competitions for the Buccaneers.

The Namibia winger was back to his natural position against Stellenbosch and is likely to again operate in a role in the event Riveiro wants Relebohile Mofokeng to come in as an impact substitute.

Riveiro might want to stick to his working strategy of benching Tshegofatso Mabasa and let Makgopa lead his attack.
