Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu FC have released their starting line-ups for this evening’s Betway Premiership clash at Orlando Stadium in Soweto.
The Buccaneers kept their 100% record of their campaign when they beat SuperSport United 2-0 to move top of the log standings though they have now been toppled by defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns with both sides having secured four wins from four outings and are only separated by goal difference (2).
Jose Riveiro’s charges have beaten Chippa United, Polokwane City, Richards Bay as well as Matsatsantsa and are showing signs of establishing themselves as creditable challengers for the title.
Usuthu are still seeking their first win of the new campaign across all competitions having suffered three league defeats and currently dwell at the bottom of the log with zero points.
The last 21 league meetings between the two sides have seen Pirates hold the superior advantage with 11 wins to Usuthu’s just one, while nine outings have ended in stalemates.
