Siwelele FC: form and statistics

Siwelele continued their struggles in their last game, losing 2-0 against Magesi. During this game, Samir Nurkovic was red-carded in the 36th minute, and that was where their issue started in the game. After taking the spot of Supersports United since the start of the season, Siwelele looked very ready for the league with a 3-1 win over Golden Arrows in their first game of the season, but they failed to continue this run. They lost three straight games before getting a goalless draw and then another two consecutive losses. They sit 14th on the table with four points in seven games, scoring three goals and conceding nine.

Siwelele FC: Team News and Lineup

Siwelele are facing issues both on and off the field, and recently made changes to their backroom setups. Off the field, the club has relieved chief executive officer Stan Matthews and assistant coach Andre Arendse of their duties due to what the club chairman Calvin le John refers to as security decisions. They have appointed Lerato Kholoanyane (new CEO) and former Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana defender Willem Jackson as a new assistant coach. Among the teams, Samir Nurkovic will miss this game due to the three-game suspension from their last match.

Siwelele FC Expected Lineup

Chipeze, Tshepo Makgoga, Mzwandile Buthelezi, Lehlegonolo Mokone, Delano Abrahams, Thalong Masegala, Zungu, Makhubu, Vandala, Kgomotso Mosadi, Sibanyoni.

Orlando Pirates: form and statistics

Orlando Pirates began their journey on the continent with a 3-0 win on the road against Lioli. Prior to that, they defeated Stellenbosch 3-0 after extra time in the final of the MTN 8 Cup. The Sea Robbers will now return to league action, where they secured a 3-0 win over Chippa United in their last league outing. Patrick Maswanganyi opened the scoring in the 10th minute of the game before Deon Hotto made it 2-0 before the first half break. Maswanganyi missed out on the chance to extend the lead even further when he missed from the spot in the 50th minute. Tshepang Moremi got on the scoresheet in the 66th minute to cement the decisive win. They have now remained unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions. Buccaneers sit eight on the table with nine points in five games, scoring six goals and conceding three.
