Orlando Pirates will be hoping to entertain their fans on Friday night when they host Maritzburg United in the DStv Premiership.
The match at Orlando Stadium kicks off at 7:30pm with the visitors smarting from their Nedbank Cup exit at the hands of Bucs’ rivals Kaizer Chiefs.
Now winless in three games, the Team of Choice arrive needing to quickly reverse their poor run of form as they sit 15th once again.
The Buccaneers are fresh off a 2-0 win against All Stars, which secured their spot in the next round of the Nedbank Cup. It was a fourth win in five games as they look to keep their foot on the gas.
Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro remains suspended after being sent off against All Stars. Goodman Mosele is an injury doubt as well.
Missing for the visitors is midfielder Travis Graham, who was given his marching orders in the loss against Amakhosi.
Monnapule Saleng is fresh off another Man of the Match performance and now has eight goals in 15 games.
He will be key as the Buccaneers will be out to avenge a shock defeat suffered at the Harry Gwala Stadium earlier in the season when a late penalty decided the game.

Pirates have been by far the more successful side in meetings between these two teams, winning 15 of the last 29 encounters and only losing six times.
