High-flying Richards Bay FC make the trip to the Orlando Stadium looking to secure the big scalp of Orlando Pirates on Saturday night.
DStv Premiership
Teams: Orlando Pirates v Richards Bay FC
Date: 08 October 2022
Venue: Orland Stadium
Time: 20h00
Pirates' inconsistencies continued in the league after they lost for the second time in three matches following a 2-0 defeat against Sekhukhune United on Wednesday..
The Buccaneers have since dropped down to fourth on the table with 14 points, five points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns who are not involved in league matters this week.
The Soweto have another conundrum on their hands as goalkeeper Richard Ofori is suspended along with Thabiso Monyane, who was sent off in the defeat to Sekhukhune United.
Richards Bay, in contrast, will be looking to extend their good run of form as they won their third game in four matches after edging AmaZulu 1-0 in the KwaZulu-Natal derby in midweek.
The Natal Rich Boyz climbed up to second position on the table with 17 points, two points behind Sundowns and they could top the table with a win over Pirates, as the Brazilians are not in domestic action this weekend.
Here's how they line up:
Orlando Pirates: 40. Mpontshane, 23. Maela, 5. Sibisi, 29. Ndah, 20. Mosele, 4. Timm, 26. Shandu, 11. Hotto, 15. Ndlondlo, 14. Saleng, 25. Lepasa
Subs: Chaine, 29. Mako, 27. Xoki, 18. Dlamini, 15. Makaringe, 12. Makgaka, 6. Motshwari, 27. Dzvukamanja, 9. Nga,
Richards Bay: 80. Magoola, 2. Maphathe, 25. Mabua, 25. Mcineka, 34. Nyauza, 6. Mabaso, 30. Barns, 12. Mathebula, 45. Ntsundwana, 10. Memela, 7. Msani.
