Predicting Orlando Pirates' XI to face TS Galaxy in PSL clash

The 28-year-old has been in good form since he returned from his long-term injury having kept three successive clean sheets in the PSL. 

Ofori will be determined to ensure that the Buccaneers avoid a defeat by keeping another clean sheet. 

The attack-minded full-back netted his first-ever PSL goal for Pirates against TS Galaxy in the first round league clash as the Soweto giants won 2-0 at home in December last year.

Shandu will be hoping to produce another stellar performance against the Rockets and help the Buccaneers complete a league double over the Mpumalanga side.

The experienced defender has impressed since he returned to the starting line-up as he filled the void left by Mako in this position.

Maela has helped the Buccaneers keep two successive clean sheets and he provided the assist for Bucs' winning goal against Simba of Tanzania on April 24.

The veteran defender, who has fallen out of favour in the last few weeks, featured as a substitute against Chippa - replacing Ndah.

Jele might be recalled to the starting line-up if Ndah is deemed not a match fit for the clash with the Rockets. 

The versatile defender has moved ahead of Jele in the pecking order in the Pirates central defence with some solid displays. 

Nyauza could be assigned to man-mark Nigerian hitman Augustine Chidi Kwem, who is one of Galaxy's key players.

The utility player has cemented his place in the starting line-up as a defensive midfielder since last month.

Mabaso has moved ahead of Thabang Monare and Ben Motshwari in the team's central midfield pecking order. 

The 32-year-old player brought some creativity and urgency to the Bucs midfield when he came on as a substitute against Chippa.

Mntambo might be rewarded with a starting berth in Mpumalanga as the Buccaneers look to claim a much-needed victory.

The former Maritzburg United playmaker is another Pirates player who has re-cemented his place in the team in the last few weeks.

Makaringe's creativity could be key to the Buccaneers recording their 10th win of the season in the league. 

The diminutive attacker has looked sharp in the last few matches, but he has been wasteful in front of goal having missed a sitter against the Chilli Boys.

Lorch, who is yet to score this season, will be hoping to open his scoring account for the current term in Nelspruit.

The hardworking attacker provided the assist for Bucs' second goal when they defeated the Rockets in the first league clash.

Hotto's delivery from set-pieces and explosive speed could create big problems for the hosts.

The left-footed marksman looked hungry for goals when came on as a substitute against Chippa and he came close to scoring. 

Mabaso could be recalled to the team with the Soweto giants desperate for goals.
