Orlando Pirates vs Mamelodi Sundowns Lineups, Team News, and Match Preview
Orlando Pirates
With only four games played, which is the fewest of all the teams in the Premier Soccer League, Orlando has a lot of ground to cover, but the schedule is not going to be easy as they are playing on multiple fronts.
Possible lineup: Chaine, Sibisi, Shandu, Mako, Xoki, Ndlondlo, Monare, Saleng, Hotto, Maswanganyi, Lepasa.
Mamelodi Sundowns
The best team in South Africa is enjoying another great start to the season by winning all six games and remaining the only team with a perfect record thus far. There are, however, some injury issues with the team: Thapelo Maseko, Abubeker Nasir, Neo Maema, Thapelo Morena, Abdelmounaim Boutouil, Rushine De Reuck, and Denis Onyango are all suffering from some sort of health issues.
Possible lineup: Williams, Mvala, Coetzee, Lunga, Mokoena, Modiba, Allende, Mudau, Costa, Zwane, Nku.
Player to Watch: Lucas Ribeiro Costa
The Brazilian center-forward has only joined Mamelodi two months ago and already he is the best striker in the Premier Soccer League. He has scored four goals in five league matches while also adding an assist. Costa also scored twice in the CAF Champions League.
Costa played in Belgium for multiple clubs for the last three years and previously had experience in France for second-division club Valenciennes. It was a strange transfer for Costa to move away from Belgium, especially with his talent on display.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
