Sekhukhune & Pirates Starting XIs Announced

Sekhukhune United and Orlando Pirates have confirmed their starting line-ups for this evening’s DStv Premiership fixture at Peter Mokaba stadium.

It is set to be an electrifying encounter between struggling Babina Noko, who has only won one game this season and second-placed Pirates.

The Buccaneers recently played a goalless draw in the MTN8 semi-final against Mamelodi Sundowns and will look to close the gap to the top to two points.

Assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi believes should they transfer their weekend mentality to today’s encounter to stand a good chance to collect maximum points.

‪“It’s a different competition, we played a cup match two days ago but what’s important is that the mentality mustn’t change,” Ncikazi told Pirates media

“Playing to win, fighting to win for the team it is what we observed on the previous match, not many preparations from match day plus one yesterday match day minus one today but what should be kept is the mentality for the badge and fighting to win and get that three points”.‬

Defender Olisa Ndah misses out with a yellow card suspension.

Here’s how they line up:

Sekhukhune United XI: Sangare, Mobbie, Ntiya-Ntiya, Cardoso, Gyimah, Stabi, Mabasa, Mntambo, Mncube, Shai, Letsoalo

Subs: Mtsweni, Mkhabela, Motsepe, Kabwe, Mahlangu, Leepile, Mokwena, Masina, Makhubu
