DStv Premiership Starting XI: Orlando Pirates v Marumo Gallants 20 December 2021

DStv Premiership Starting XI: Orlando Pirates v Marumo Gallants 20 December 2021

Orlando Pirates will be desperate to redeem themselves when they host Marumo Gallants in the DStv Premiership on Monday evening at Orlando Stadium.

Teams: Orlando Pirates v Marumo Gallants

Date: 20 December 2021

Venue: Orlando Stadium

Pirates will be looking to get an immediate response after they were humiliated 4-1 by Mamelodi Sundowns last Friday.

The defeat to Sundowns ended the Buccaneers' six-game unbeaten run, as the last time they had lost was against Kaizer Chiefs in early November.

The Soweto giants dropped down to fifth spot on the table, as a result, with 24 points but they could leapfrog Royal AM in second place if they return to winning ways.

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa, similarly, saw their six-game unbeaten run come to an end, as they lost for the first time under Dan Malesela with a late 1-0 defeat to AmaZulu on the same evening.

However, Malesela's charges remained in 11th spot on the log with 18 points and a win can only see them jump Golden Arrows in tenth place.

The sides are meeting for the second time this season after the first round clash ended goalless at Peter Mokaba Stadium.

Pirates: 40. Mpontshane, 4. Jele, 5. Nyauza, 26. Shandu, 29. Mako, 6. Motshwari, 20. Mosele, 28. Makhubela, 3. Lorch, 11. Hotto, 46. Peprah.

Subs: 30. Sandilands, 42. Mabaso, 37. Dzvukamanja, 23. Maela, 19. Sam, 17. Jooste, 15. Makaringe, 9. Mabasa, 7. Mhango.

Gallants: 36. Arubi, 2. Nkili, 13. Kgoetyane, 5. Mabotja, 18. Nonyane, 6. Timm,  26. Ntshangase.33. Dion, 11. Otladisa, 10. Ngema, 24. Mvelase.

Subs: 16. Ndlovu, 23. Mnyamane, 14. Lamola,  20. Ndlondlo, 32. Makudubela, 3. Manaka, 19. Ravhuhali, 30. Kumalo, 29. Gumede.
