Orlando Pirates continue their push for the Caf Champions League place in the 2024/25 season when they play Cape Town City on Wednesday. A win for the Soweto giants will be enough to take them behind runaway leaders Mamelodi Sundowns if Stellenbosch fail to win against Golden Arrows.
The hosts have no new injury concerns ahead of the fixture and coach Eric Tinkler will go with his best against Bucs. The tactician will welcome back his reliable defender Keanu Cupido who has served his two-match suspension.
City Probable XI: Keet, Mkhize, Gordinho, Petrus, Cupido, Gonzalez, Mokhuoane, Goedeman, Rhodes, Kutumela, Mayo
Bucs lost Thabitso Lebitso for the rest of the season due to an injury while Patrick Maswanganyi and Makhehleni Makhaula are out suspended. Sipho Chaine, Deon Hotto, and Miguel Timm are back after a one-match ban which is a massive boost for the Soweto giants.
Pirates possible XI: Chaine, Monyane, Hotto, Xoki, Sesane, Timm, Mbatha, Dlamini, Mofokeng, Kapinga, Mabasa
Bucs are in good form having won their last three PSL games to revive their chances of finishing second on the table. City are winless in the last nine league games, they have lost three of those matches, drawing the remaining six.
