Orlando Pirates are believed to be the favourites going into their match this afternoon against Stellenbosch FC.
Following their convincing 3-0 win over Black Leopards in their previous match last Thursday, former Pirates defender Tonic Chabalala is confident of Josef Zinnbauer's team's chances at the Danie Craven Stadium, despite having recently also lost by the same score against log leaders and defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
"I predict a win for Pirates in this game even if they are playing away. The win against Black Leopards was a much needed morale booster after the loss against Sundowns. Yes, the league title is gone (as Sundowns are the favourites to win it) but there's still position two and three to play for and Pirates will want to finish among the top teams on the log. I give this one to Pirates as their victory," Chabalala told the Siya crew.
Meanwhile, the Buccaneers have welcomed their two first team regulars in Ntsikelelo Nyauza and Fortune Makaringe after they missed the previous match due to suspension, although they will be starting on the bench against Stellies.
