📋 Team News: SuperSport United

Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the SuperSport United gaffer Kaitano Tembo to be concerned with due to a largely intact squad. Grant Margeman (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention.

📰 Team News: Orlando Pirates

Orlando Pirates has multiple availability issues to deal with. Miguel Timm (Ankle injury), Thabiso Lebitso (Knee injury) and Thabiso Sesane (Achilles tendon rupture) are not ready for selection.

✨ Prediction

We’re inclined to think that SuperSport United certainly have the ability to get a goal against this Orlando Pirates outfit, although one goal probably won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We’re therefore expecting a very close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Orlando Pirates at the end of the 90 minutes. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
