Betway Premiership outfits TS Galaxy and Orlando Pirates have announced their starting line-ups for this evening’s league encounter at Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga.
Struggling Galaxy have a daunting task awaiting them as they face high-flying Pirates. The Rockets have one point after four league matches having lost three matches before their 1-1 draw against Marumo Gallants this past weekend.

After losing Bradley Mojela and Samir Nurkovic who were both their regular goal scorers last season, Sead Ramovic’s side scored four goals in all competitions this season and will unfortunately be without the services of striking duo Dzenan Zajmovic and Victor Letsoalo who both received red cards in their last match.
Pirates on the other hand could stretch their lead at the top over second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns to six points should they come away with maximum points in order to maintain their 100% start in the league. They are equal to Sundowns on the number of goals scored and conceded just two goals.
Mbombela Stadium has however not been a good hunting ground for Pirates as they’ve struggled there of late, winning only once and losing three times.
