Predicting Orlando Pirates' XI to face Stellenbosch FC - Did Kamogelo Sebelebele do enough against Mamelodi Sundowns to freeze out Oswin Appollis again?

After MTN8 duty last weekend, the Buccaneers switch focus to Premier Soccer League business and they host the Cape Winelands outfit.

Orlando Pirates will be put to avoid a third successive PSL defeat when they clash with Stellenbosch FC at home on Wednesday.

The Soweto giants are on a three-match winless streak, which includes two league defeats and an MTN8 semi-final draw against Mamelodi Sundowns.

Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou is likely to go with most players who did duty against Masandawana, and GOAL predicts how he could pick his starting line-up against the Maroons.

RIGHT ATTACKER: Kamogelo Sebelebele

It was a match in which he justified the coach's decision to bench Oswin Appollis.
