Changes Expected For Pirates After Shock Loss

Changes Expected For Pirates After Shock Loss

Indications are that changes could be expected in the line-up for Orlando Pirates in their next match, following their shock loss against Sekhukhune United.     

The Buccaneers were handed their third loss of the season on Tuesday at the Peter Mokaba Stadium and are now fourth on the log after SuperSport United won against Royal AM and moved to third place.

Some defensive errors cost Pirates the match against Babina Noko and with influential defender Olisa Ndah having served his one-match suspension, coach Jose Riveiro could be set to bring back the big Nigerian to the line-up in the next fixture against Richards Bay FC on Saturday.

Ndah had been outstanding in the previous match against Mamelodi Sundowns alongside Nkosinathi Sibisi and Innocent Maela as Bucs kept a clean sheet in the MTN8 first leg semi-final.

Tapelo Xoki started alongside Sibisi against Sekhukhune in Ndah's absence while indications are that Sandile Mthethwa could be next in line to get his first appearance of the season under the Spanish mentor as Bucs are also set to be without Thabiso Monyane in the next fixture after he was re-carded last night.      

Despite playing as a centre-back, where he excelled while on loan at Chippa United, Mthethwa can also play at right-back and indications are that the technical team might also look at him among the players to start with against the high-flying DStv Premiership newcomers.
