Soweto Derby: Orlando Pirates XI vs Kaizer Chiefs – Lorch returns, Jele benched

Premier Soccer League

Orlando Pirates

Chippa United

AmaZulu FC

Kaizer Chiefs

The experienced custodian – who has kept three clean sheets in the last five games across all competitions – keeps his position as they host their cross-town rivals.

Siyabonga Mpontshane

Being one of the outstanding Bucs’ stars in recent times, expectations are high on the right-back as the Sea Robbers look to return to winning ways on the domestic front.

Bandile Shandu

Mako has made the left-back position his own and he has been given a proper stage – the Soweto Derby - to show why he should keep it for long against a close rival, Innocent Maela.

Paseka Mako

Nyauza, the day’s captain for the home side, has once again been named ahead of Happy Jele, who is on the bench.

Ntsikelelo Nyauza

Although the Nigerian conceded a penalty in the first round duel when they went on to lose by a 2-1 scoreline, he has been outstanding at the back in recent games and deservedly earns a slot in the first team.

Olisa Ndah

Goodman Mosele’s suspension means Motshwari is a natural fallback plan for the Bucs’ technical bench as he is summoned into the starting eleven.

Ben Motshwari

Yellow-carded against Cape Town City, Monare should be cautious as he hopes to dominate the midfield battle against the Glamour Boys and perhaps give his side a competitive edge in the showdown.

Thabang Monare

The midfielder, who missed the Cape Town City duel, has made a swift recovery from a muscle strain to reclaim his slot in the starting XI.

Thembinkosi Lorch

Dlamini makes his third straight start for Pirates.

Kabelo Dlamini

One of the stars that Pirates supporters have pegged their hopes on, the Namibian should be on top of his game to hand the passionate fan base the derby’s bragging rights in the end.

Deon Hotto

Peprah has been given the central striking role once more, ahead of Zakhele Lepasa, who are both on the bench.

Kwame Peprah
