Predicting Orlando Pirates' starting XI against Chippa United in PSL encounter

The Ghanaian shot-stopper is in great form at the moment having kept five clean sheets in his last six games across all competitions for Bucs.

Ofori will be eyeing his third successive clean sheet in the PSL when he faces the Chilli Boys.

The attack-minded full-back seems to have lost his scoring touch lately having failed to score when he found himself in scoring positions against Simba.

Shandu, who has netted six goals across all competitions, remains a key player in the Bucs defence and he is expected to start against Chippa.

The Bafana Bafana international will keep his place in the team with Mako unavailable.

Maela, who has featured in just four league games this season, played well against Simba and he provided the assist for the winning goal. 

The dreadlocked central defender marked his return to the starting line-up with a great display against Simba.

Ndah was just unlucky not to score against the Reds of Msimbazi while also being rock solid at the back.

The experienced defender surprisingly got the nod ahead of Happy Jele ahead of the clash with the Reds of Msimbazi and he didn't disappoint.

Nyauza, who marshalled the Bucs defence with aplomb, is most likely to captain the team once again when they square off with the Chilli Boys.

The versatile player flourished in his role as a defensive midfielder over the weekend. 

A defender-come-midfielder, Mabaso could continue in this position as a shield that protects the Pirates defence. 

The former Swallows FC academy player produced arguably his best performance in the current season over the weekend.

Makaringe dominated the midfield battle and he will be determined to produce a similar display against Chippa in order to keep his place in the team.

The skilful winger showed glimpses of his old self in the win over the East African giants as he constantly unsettled the visitors' defence with his sharp movement. 

Lorch could be the player who unlocks Chippa's stubborn defence which has kept clean sheets in two of their last four PSL games.

Undoubtedly Pirates' most consistent attacker in the current season.

Hotto's delivery from set-pieces and wide areas might be key to the Buccaneers securing a victory against the Chilli Boys.

The left-footed attacker was recalled to the team Simba and he was also unlucky not to score having gotten himself in goalscoring positions. 

Dzvukamanja could be handed another starting berth with the Buccaneers in need of goals having netted just one goal in their last two games.

The hard-working marksman was the hero for the Buccaneers over the weekend as he netted the goal which earned Bucs the win in regulation time.

However, Peprah has failed to score in his last three matches in the PSL and will be determined to end his goal drought.
