The two teams have met once in the Diski Challenge when TS Galaxy defeated Pirates 3-2 at home in January 2021.
Orlando Pirates Form
Orlando Pirates won their eighth successive Diski Challenge match in a row when they beat a winless Swallows 5-1 last Saturday. Striker Boitumelo Radiopane was the star of the show with four goals, and he is the main reason they are on top of the table this season.
Pirates lead the league on 33 points from 13 games and have now opened a six-point gap to Stellenbosch. They have scored 31 goals and have conceded 10.
The Buccaneers have scored 21 goals in their last six Diski matches and an impressive three or more goals a game seven times this season.
Can Orlando Pirates win their ninth soccer match in a row? They are too good at present, and another three points look likely to be in the bag.
