Cape Town Spurs vs Orlando Pirates lineups
Cape Town Spurs
The past few months have not been very kind on Cape Town Spurs; they have lost nine matches in a row, across all competitions. Sean Connor's men are currently at the bottom of the Premier Soccer League table, with no points; it'll be interesting to see if they can turn their fortunes around today. There are no new absentees for the hosts ahead of this clash.
Predicted lineups: Dlamini, Allie, Nel, Morton, Haukongo, Dortley, Buchanan, Thethani, Lukhubeni, Moosa, Phewa.
Orlando Pirates
On the other hand, Orlando Pirates have strung up an interesting run of results these past few weeks; they have no losses in their last five matches, with two wins and three draws. Jose Riveiro's men will look to extend their unbeaten run to six matches, and they'll fancy their chances against last-placed Cape Town Spurs. Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo and Chaine Sipho are both ruled out for the visitors with injuries.
Predicted lineups: Buthelezi, Monyane, Ndah, Xoki, Hotto, Baloni, Timm, Maswanganyi, Kimvuidi, Lorch, Makgopa.

Player to watch: Zakhele Lepasa
It's important to note that Zakhele Lepasa was on a roll towards the start of the season. He scored a whopping 10 goals in his first eight appearances for the club across all competitions; and at some point had scored in four consecutive games. However, things have not gone swimmingly for the former Supersport United player; as the only goal he scored in his last five matches was an own goal. Considering Orlando Pirates will take on the worst team in the PSL, Lepasa will fancy his chances of getting back to winning ways.
