Orlando Pirates will be looking at securing a consecutive win on the road when they meet Cape Town City FC for their DSTV Premiership match on Wednesday afternoon at the DHL Cape Town Stadium. Kick-off is at 3pm.
With just a few games to go before the end of the current season, the two sides will be looking at securing maximum points for them to secure a good standing in the Premiership League Log. Pirates is currently third on the log, while City is on the 6th spot.
Pirates, who come from a four-nil win high over Royal AM FC over the weekend, will be looking at continuing with their winning ways at the expense of the Citizens, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Golden Arrows at the Cape Town Stadium on Sunday, April 28.
Cape Town City are yet to win a match in the new year 2024, settling for draws in their last three matches.
Pirates will however have to do without the services of duo Patrick Maswanganyi and Makhehleni Makhaula, who were suspended in their clash against Royal Am.
The team however will be welcoming back Deon Hotto, and Miguel Timm all back from suspension after missing the weekend clash.
Meanwhile, City will welcome back defender Keanu Cupido who has completed a two-match suspension after picking up a red card against AmaZulu.
