They've gone unbeaten in four games since then, keeping four clean sheets in the process. Jose Riveiro's men will be eyeing all three available points as they host Polokwane on Friday. Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo picked up a knock a couple of days ago, an is a doubt for this match.
Predicted lineups: Buthelezi, Shandu, Xoki, Ndah, Hotto, Monare, Timm, Maswanganyi, Makgopa, Erasmus, Lorch.

Player to watch: Oswin Reagan Appollis
Given that Orlando Pirates did not concede a single goal in their last four matches, Oswin Reagan Appollis will have a tough task ahead of him. The former Supersport United midfielder scored in last weekends win against his former club; he has three goals and an assist in all competitions this season. It should be worth keeping an eye out for Appollis.
