As things stand Pirates have scored nine league goals in five league games while Amakhosi have only found the back of the net four times in their last five encounters. 

Furthermore, The Ghost have a greater average of players scoring regularly over their long-standing rivals. One of the key players for the Parktown based side on Saturday will be Ghanaian attacker Bernard Morrison, who is in rich goalscoring form having bagged a brace both in the league and Nedbank Cup.

Zambian striker Justin Shonga will be another trump card for the coach, Milutin Sredojevic as the Zambian international has scored three times in his last five league appearances.
