DStv Premiership Starting XI: Maritzburg United v Orlando Pirates 04 September 2022

Orlando Pirates will have a chance to return to the summit of the DStv Premiership standings when they visit Maritzburg United this evening.

Teams: Maritzburg United v Orlando Pirates

Date: 04 September 2022

Venue: Harry Gwala Stadium

Time: 17h30

Pirates booked their spot in the semi-finals of the MTN8 after edging Royal AM 2-1 last weekend.

The Buccaneers will be looking to win back-to-back league matches for the first time after a narrow 1-0 victory over Marumo Gallants before their MTN8 outing

Jose Riveiro's charges have dropped to third on the log after Saturday's results, but they can leapfrog leaders Royal AM by one point with a win.

The Soweto giants will be boosted by the return of Kabelo Dlamini and Tapelo Xoki from injuries.

Over to Maritzburg, they will be looking to bounce back after a narrow 1-0 loss to Thwihli Thwahla in the KwaZulu-Natal derby the last time out.

The Team of Choice have only one win to their name this season and are lying 13th on the log.

The last time the sides met the Soweto giants ran riot with a 4-1 win in the reverse after a goalless draw in the first round clash, while Maritzburg have not beaten the Buccaneers since 2016.
