Orlando Pirates vs Cape Town City Lineups, Team News, and Match Preview

Orlando Pirates

Looking at the way Orlando started the season, the attack looks solid, however, defending needs a lot of work. The team finished last season as the second-placed side behind the most decorated team in South Africa, Mamelodi Sundowns. The last time Orlando took home the title was eleven years ago. They are one of the teams that have been competing in the Premier Soccer League since its inception in 1999. Spanish coach Jose Riviero has been leading the charge since last summer.

Possible lineup: Chaine, Sibisi, Shandu, Xoki, Hotto, Monare, Ndlondlo, Mofokeng, Saleng, Maswanganyi, Lepasa.

Cape Town City

After a good start to the season with two wins in their opening couple of matches, Cape Town has lost three straight games, including winning in the national cup competition. There are not many goals scored when it comes to this team, but at least the positive aspect is that they don't concede much as well. The goal difference stands at 2-2, but with the way the game is played this season, coach Eric Tinkler needs to find solutions quickly to get his strikers in better form as the season will become trickier soon enough.

Possible lineup: Keet, Cupido, Mkhize, van Heerden, Goedeman, Kutumela, Ambina, Rhodes, Gonzalez, Sifumba, Mayo.

Player to Watch: Zakhele Lepasa

He was brought up in Orlando's academy but as soon as his stocks began to rise as a youngster, he was loaned out constantly. Last season he was with Supersport United where Lepasa scored only a couple of goals in ten matches. However, Orlando decided that it was time to give him a proper chance this term.

When we look at his total stats when playing for the Pirates, Lepasa scored eleven goals and delivered a couple of assists in 46 appearances. His earlier stints include TS Galaxy and Stellenbosch FC. In all, he made 61 appearances for those four clubs scoring 17 times. Lepasa will be happy to finally get a chance to prove he is worth the gamble for Orlando who finished second in last season's championship.
