Teams: Orlando Pirates v Polokwane City
Date: 26 November 2019
Venue: Orlando Stadium
Ninth-placed Orlando Pirates will be aiming to get their Absa Premiership campaign back on track when they host Polokwane City on Tuesday evening.
The Soweto giants have only secured three league wins all season, with the last encounter ending a 3-2 loss to cross-town rivals Kaizer Chiefs just before the international break.
As a result, Rhulani Mokwena's charges find themselves level on points with eighth-placed Maritzburg United, who are only in action on Wednesday night.
Sitting one spot below Pirates is Rise and Shine, who come into the encounter on the back of six straight losses in all competitions.
However, victory for Polokwane or the Buccaneers this evening could see either side jump up to fifth place in the standings.
Pirates do have an absentee to deal with as Happy Jele continues to serve his suspension for the red card he picked up in the goalless draw with Maritzburg United.
Pirates: 30. Sandilands, 5. Nyauza, 23. Maela, 44. Mabaso, 29. Mako, 6. Motshwari, 20. Mlambo, 15, Makaringe, 45. Pule, 3. Lorch, 7. Gabadinho.
Subs: 1. Delle, 19. Chabalala, 8. Ndlovu, 32. Mntambo, 17. Mulenga, 18. Dlamini.
