Absa Premiership Starting XI: Baroka v Orlando Pirates 07 December 2019

Absa Premiership Starting XI: Baroka v Orlando Pirates 07 December 2019

Teams: Baroka v Orlando Pirates

Date: 07 December 2019

Venue: Peter Mokaba Stadium

Orlando Pirates will be seeking back-to-back Absa Premiership wins for the first time this season when they visit Baroka FC on Saturday afternoon.

Pirates ended a two-game winless run by beating Polokwane City 3-2 ten days ago but that victory came at a cost after their talisman Thembinkosi Lorch got a red card and will only be returning to action next year. However, the Soweto gianst will welcome back experienced defender Happy Jele from suspension.

Mokwena's men, with a poor away record of only one victory this season, are placed eighth on the table with 16 points from 12 matches.

Meanwhile, Bakgaga have struggles of their own as they are yet to register a win at home in the league so far in this campaign.

Baroka played to a goalless draw with Chippa United last Sunday that moved the side up to 12th on the log, although just a point above the drop zone.

Baroka will be without defender Matome Kgoetyane due to suspension.

The Limpopo side will not have any reason to fear Pirates after upsetting in the Telkom Knockout final a year ago in December.

Baroka: 1. Chipezeze, 22. Mogashoa, 18. Shozi, 33. Farmer, 23. Ngubane, 20. Patjie, 14. Mosele, 8. Mdantsane, 13. Mabeba, 10. Phiri Jnr, 25. Nxumalo.

Subs: 30. Dlamini, 3. Gebhardt, 24. Madondo, 16. Madigoe, 17. Kambala, 12. Makgaka.

Pirates: 30. Sandilands, 23. Maela, 5. Nyauza, 4. Jele, 44. Mabaso, 27. Motshwari, 32. Mntambo, 29. Mako, 15 Makaringe, 45. Pule, 7. Mhango

Subs: 40. Mpontshane, Sam, 8. Ndlovu, 11. Memela, 18. Dlamini, 17. Mulenga, 16. Mabasa
