Pirates have started this season with a four-match unbeaten run. They have won four domestic cups in the last two years as they chase more silverware.
After a three-match winless run (LLD), Bucs ended last season by beating Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup final. This term began with a 3-1 win vs SuperSport United in the MTN8.
They drew 0-0 away vs CS-Disciples before winning 4-0 at home in the second leg. In midweek, Pirates drew 1-1 at Cape Town City having led 1-0.
Coach Jose Riveiro is without the injured Tapelo Xoki in defence. The inexperienced Thabiso Sesane will continue to deputise.
Newly signed right back Deano Van Rooyen is doubtful. Kabelo Dlamini may start over Miguel Timm in central midfield.

City are currently six matches unbeaten going back to last season. This streak followed a 10-match winless run.
Eric Tinkler’s team won three of their final four PSL matches in the 2023-24 season to finish fifth.On the final day, they won 1-0 at Mamelodi Sundowns to end Downs’ unbeaten league season.

French striker Amadou Soukouna is not expected to feature. Namibian youngster Prins Tjiueza may be used as a false nine.
Defender Lorenzo Gordinho is doubtful. Tshegofatso Nyama could play in his place.

I am backing a repeat scoreline from the first leg. I see this ending in a 1-1 draw.
