Predicting Orlando Pirates' XI to play Kaizer Chiefs in Premier Soccer League's Soweto Derby - Olisa Ndah in for suspended Nkosinathi Sibisi?

This is a massive game for Pirates, and coach Riveiro can't bench his trusted soldier.

Since joining Pirates, Van Rooyen has been solid and will want to make an impact on Saturday. Always defends with zeal to the last minute

Injuries have not been kind on Mako, but when fit, he keeps his place in the starting team. It will give Hotto a chance to play in his preferred position.

The skipper is suspended for this game, and with Olisa Ndah not fully fit, Xoki - who has been battling consistency, is set to take his place.

This will be the first PSL Soweto Derby for the 19-year-old. The best he can do is help his team get the bragging rights.

This is a massive game that requires experienced midfielders. The 35-year-old Makhaula has been delivering consistently in the defensive role. The remaining matches are vital and need his presence.

The Bafana Bafana international is just one yellow card away from suspension which might see him miss the Nedbank Cup final.

However, the Soweto Derby is crucial, and Riveiro might opt against leaving him out.

He scored the winning goals in the previous Soweto Derby, but has not been at his best recently.

Tito is still dangerous in the final third, which might see him get his chance.

Mofokeng has been a key player for Pirates, but the four goals and five assists this season don't tell the whole story. More is needed.

Just like we saw against Sekhukhune United, the Namibia international might be deployed in the advanced role after playing at left-back for most of the season.

He has three goals and as many assists this season.

It seems Makgopa has done enough to win Riveiro's trust in the final third ahead of Tshegofatso Mabasa.
