It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just a single fitness concern for the SuperSport United gaffer Kaitano Tembo to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Grant Margeman (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out.

⚡ Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that SuperSport United will need to put in a solid display to get anything against this Orlando Pirates outfit who will likely emerge victorious.

That’s why we have predicted a good battle with a 0-1 win for Orlando Pirates when the referee blows for full-time.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
